Pete A. Turner is a former US Army Counterintelligence Agent who conducted over a thousand missions in conflict zones, including Bosnia, Egypt, Iraq, and Afghanistan. His off-camp operations focused on gathering people, information, and secrets to help commanders achieve objectives and secure victories. Turner's constant access to "Ground Truth" honed his industry-leading expertise in field collection, delivering unparalleled guidance and operational accuracy for US forces. By building trust and applying cultural intelligence, he engaged host national leaders, tribal elders, and religious scholars, uncovering their needs and fostering unprecedented insights and partnerships. He holds a BA in Mass Communication from Cal State University Hayward and an MA in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix. Turner has co-authored peer-reviewed articles on ethical pitfalls in female engagement, action research for Afghan governance, and "Ground Truth" in military operations involving Islam, state-building, and NATO. He co-authored Transition Operations, a discussion with 29 articles on doctrinal gaps for US forces exiting partnered conflicts.
