Wayne Wilhelm retired from contract consulting for the Department of Defense’s Intelligence Security Command, (INSCOM) after 8 years of in filed service in 2012.  Wayne specialized in training soldiers for the global war on Terror.  After spending more then 30 weeks a year in some of the harshest conditions imaginable, Wayne decided to rejoin his family and settle back into civilian life. 

It did not take long before Wayne’s sense of service and restless nature lead him to seek new opportunities to serve.  Climate change and rampaging forest fires captured headlines around the globe but no place on earth seemed to be more devastated than his home state of California.  On investigation, Wayne learned that a critical need for both personnel, and in particular, reliable support services were in dire need.  Wayne quickly realized that his past experience with the military gave him keen insights managing the logistics for the supplies needed for large contingents of personnel and tactical equipment.   From this revelation Trident Emergency Support was born.
