AMERICAN HOMELAND

By: Nate Perkins

In January 2000, only 21 months before the 9/11 attack on the United States, Lieutenant Colonel Nate Perkins, Chief of Information Assurance Program Manager at the United States Army Forces Command, Fort McPherson, Georgia, was interviewed by Stephen Willingham, of National Defense Magazine, for an article entitled "Network Security Training Needed," an analysis of the state of military security in our country with regards to focusing on 21st century cyber-warfare. The article begins by acknowledging that Perkins and other U.S. military officials in charge of information technology programs believe that soldiers operating computer networks and telecommunications networks for the Defense Department should be specially trained for "cyber-battles" the same way that troops are prepared for combat.

In 1976, LTC (R ) Perkins received his Associate Degree from Cowan College, N.C. He entered the U.S. Army in 1979, after graduating from Winston-Salem State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health and Physical Education and a Minor in History. He received a Military Science Degree in R.O.T.C. from Wake Forest University, N.C., and a Master’s Degree in Information and Technology Science and General Studies from the University of Texas, at Killeen. In 1989, he graduated from Command and General Staff College, K.S. He also attended National War College and Information Warfare in Washington, D.C.

He assumed the position of Information Operation Officer, Defensive-Information Warfare (IW-D) Division, Command, Control and Communication Systems Directorate, Headquarters United States European Command, Stuttgart, Germany on 20 July 1995.

Perkins is the grandson of an army veteran who fought in two wars. He was born on December 23, 1955 in Greenville, North Carolina. His sister Nutricia was considered a prodigy, but she died of cancer at the age of 18, before she could take advantage of several scholarships she was offered by Yale, Harvard, and other Ivy League schools. She was forced to repeat her SAT exam because the Board of Education did not believe her high score on the first one.

During his fifty years of living as an American-born citizen, the American Flag has become the symbol around which Perkins' life revolves. He served at the highest level of our government in the field of Telecommunications and Information Technology (IT) Warfare. His leadership started as Captain of his high school football team, basketball team and track team. Nate was a flag bearer in school parades and loved to salute the America flag. He attended college for five years, where he was a cadet in U.S. Army ROTC Program.

Perkins joined the army and was told that he wouldn't rise above 2nd Lieutenant and would spend no more than two years in service. Twenty-six years later, he is a Combat Disabled Retired Lieutenant Colonel, who has moved his wife and two daughters around the world with him. He is highly decorated and retired with the honors of a wounded soldier for his country. He planned telecommunications systems and networks in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain locations supporting the Gulf War.

While serving this great nation, he participated in and was disabled in the first Gulf War. Nate's command oversaw Information Warfare for the military. His emphasis was on Information Assurance and Telecommunications Networks. He was responsible for publishing the first United States European Command Defensive-Information Warfare Plans for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and for protecting telecommunications networks on foreign fronts. The area of responsibility (AOR) of the United States European Command covers more than 21 million square miles and includes 91 countries and territories. This territory extends from the North Cape of Norway, through the waters of the Baltic and Mediterranean seas, most of Europe, parts of the Middle East, to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

Wounded in the Gulf War, LTC (R ) Perkins participated in the Gulf War Syndrome Study held in Walter Reed National Medical Center, Washington, D.C. making him almost completely bionic. He has had neck collar bone replacement, and a plastic right wrist, back and hip.

Disabled Retired, since January 2005, Perkins has written a book on his entrepreneurial endeavors in the State of Georgia and the state of education, the military, politics, employment, and terrorism in the black community with drive-by shootings and black-on-black crime.

This is the story of one of America's heroes, Disabled Retired Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel "Nate" William Perkins.
