Col. Hickey's Biography:
Colonel James B. Hickey (ret.) graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and was commissioned into the Regular Army in 1982, commencing a distinguished 29-year active duty career in the U.S. Army. Colonel Hickey currently serves as the Senior Military Adviser to the Senate Armed Services Committee.
His first assignment on active duty with the Army was with the 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry in Schweinfurt, Germany where he served as a cavalry platoon leader, troop executive officer and squadron adjutant from 1982-1985.

Upon completing the Command and General Staff Officer’s College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 1994, Major Hickey returned to the 11th ACR, now at Fort Irwin, California where he served as the Operations Officer for the 1st Squadron. His other assignments at the National Training Center were Operations Group’s Chief of Plans, Observer Controller and Operations Officer for the “Scorpion” Mechanized Infantry Team and the Deputy Regimental Commander for the 11th ACR.
Lieutenant Colonel Hickey proceeded to Fort Carson, Colorado where he served as the Regimental Executive Officer of the 3rd ACR “Brave Rifles” in 1998 before taking command of 2nd Squadron, 3rd ACR After command Lieutenant Colonel Hickey was assigned as the Brigade Senior Observer Controller at the Combat Maneuver Training Center in Hohenfels, Germany in 2001.

For this and recognized combat effectiveness the “Raider Brigade” was recognized by the Secretary of the Army with the Valorous Unit Award.
After brigade command Colonel Hickey performed Joint Staff duties at the Institute of Defense Analysis in Alexandria, Virginia. During this assignment he performed sensitive intelligence analysis which led to his reassignment to the Iraq Theatre of Operations under the command of Lieutenant General Raymond T. Odierno in 2006. Colonel Hickey helped plan and oversee the execution of the “Surge” in direct support of the corps commanding general. He was credited by the commanding general for the dramatic reduction of improvised explosive device attacks against coalition troops due to the efforts of Colonel Hickey’s Counter IED Operations Integration Cell.
