McNulty has deployed around the world in support of contingency operations in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. During his career, he has commanded at the squadron and group levels, most notably the 102nd Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Group, part of the Distributed Common Ground System enterprise.
