Gary Olfert

I served as a Colonel in the Central European Armed Forces with over 20 years of experience in artillery and armored warfare. Throughout my career, I oversaw modernization programs for self-propelled howitzers and coordinated multinational exercises under NATO command. Today, I dedicate my expertise to analyzing how next-generation defense systems — from precision artillery to integrated air defense — are reshaping the battlefield. My research has been published in several military journals and cited in parliamentary defense committees.
