PENSACOLA, Fla. — A Charlottesville, Virginia native is stationed with a command responsible for teaching future information warriors the skills required to defend America around the world.
Lt. Jason Amiss operates as an afloat cryptologic management course manager and lead instructor out of the Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station.
Amiss is responsible for providing instruction and subject matter expertise to senior enlisted and junior officers about leading and executing cryptologic warfare operations as a division officer and division leading chief petty officer afloat.
Amiss has served in the Navy for over 20 years of active duty, formerly as a cryptologic technician (technical) in 1998 before commissioning as an officer in 2010, and now stationed at IWTC Corry Station for the past two years. He will retire from active duty in late 2019.
“I ensure, at the basic shipboard level, the cryptologic warfare divisional leadership can lead their teams in providing maximum cryptologic, electronic warfare, and intelligence support for their unit, carrier strike group or amphibious readiness group,” shared Amiss. “Afloat cryptology enables theater commanders and national agencies greater battlespace awareness while enhancing decision superiority.”
As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied-upon assets, Amiss and other Sailors and staff serve as a key part of the information warfare community in its mission to gain a deep understanding of the inner workings of adversaries and developing unmatched knowledge of the battlespace during wartime.
“The Sailors and staff at Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station are fully invested in our students and shipmates. This team demonstrates that investment every day through exceptional competence, character, and connection. These virtues propel our command in providing highly trained information warfare professionals that our Navy and nation needs," said Cmdr. Zach McKeehan, commanding officer of IWTC Corry Station. "In the short time that I have been here, I have seen just how dedicated these professionals are to maintaining the highest of standards for themselves and the students. I am extremely proud of our warriors, and it is through the focus and dedication of our patriots that we will continue to be the greatest military force in the world."
These Sailors and staff have a tremendous responsibility in creating warfighting options for fleet commanders and advising decision makers at all levels as they serve worldwide aboard ships, submarines and aircraft around the fleet.
Along with being a course manager and instructor, Amiss takes pride in being a mentor.
“I like to share my successes, and more importantly, my failures with my students to help them succeed personally and professionally and become relatable to their Sailors. I truly believe that people are the most valuable and precious assets that the Navy has. Throughout my career, I have been lucky enough to have some outstanding mentors help guide me personally and professionally. Having good mentorship is critical to a successful Navy career,” said Amiss.
IWTC Corry Station is just one component that makes up the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) domain, headquartered onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station, Florida.
Charged with developing the future technical cadre of the information warfare community, the CIWT domain leads, manages, and delivers Navy and joint force training to 21,000 students annually. With 1,200 military, civilian and contracted staff members, CIWT oversees about 200 courses at four information warfare training commands, two detachments, and additional learning sites located throughout the United States and Japan.
CIWT is responsible for training enlisted cryptologic technicians, information systems technicians, intelligence specialists, and electronics technicians. CIWT also provides training to cryptologic warfare, information professional, intelligence, and foreign area officers that prepares them to be prepared to wage battle, and assure the nation’s success in this burgeoning warfare arena.
