Wayne Grigsby

Army colonel Wayne Grigsby, a career infantryman who had served 37 months in Iraq since 2003, was working on the Joint Staff when General Rodriguez asked him to help stand up the IJC and to stay on and serve on the IJC staff when it was to become operational in October. Colonel Chinn’s role in the strategic assessment was limited since he was leading the effort to stand up the IJC. Colonel Grigsby, however, had a more involved role in the assessment as an early key player in the Command and Control Working Group.
