LTC Adam R. Brady Assistant Professor Geography and Environmental Engineering adam.brady [at] westpoint.edu About Education Research & Publications LTC Brady is an Armor officer with experience from the platoon to division level both in garrison and deployed. His most recent operational experience was as the Joint Command Inspector General for CJFLCC-OIR (Iraq) and the Command Inspector General for the 1st Armored Division and Fort Bliss. Previously he served as a Combined Arms Battalion S3 and XO in both garrison and deployed to Djibouti in support of CJTF-HOA. His graduate research focused on designing and characterizing the impacts of geochemical conditions on the operational performance and microbial ecology of passive treatment systems such as wetlands and lignocellulose bioreactors treating waters impaired with nitrate, trace organic contaminants (pharmaceuticals), and metals.
