fads. All of us at the Anti
Terrorism Accreditation Board
(ATAB) are touched deeply by his
passing. We will miss his highly
valued guidance, council and incite
that was so essential during our
early years.
The success of our
organization is epitomized by
professionals like Roy.
After a successful tour in the U.S.
Navy, Roy’s inquisitive mind and logical thinking naturally led him to law
enforcement where he served with the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations. Over the

military, government and industrial facilities. The Bordes group specializes
in the design of integrated electronic security systems. Many incorporate
technologies related to access control, biometrics, closed-circuit television,
communications, and perimeter protection. His range of involvement
included sensitive security projects from homeland security to the design
of complex and specialized security screening techniques.
For years Roy has been recognized as a leading security professional
and has been sought after by organizations such as Time magazine, the
Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Business Week, the
Associated Press, Washington Post, and the Orlando Sentinel for his
opinion and insights on Security and Terrorism. He has been interviewed

ATAB Lifetime Distinguished Membership Award
GENERAL CHARLES TRUMBETTA , PH.D, CMAS, MSM
Dr. Orfeo “Chuck” Trombetta Jr.
Many of us in the security and special
operations industry have known and
respected Chuck for many years. He is a
retired US Army Officer (Infantry, Special
Forces, Military Intelligence, Civil Affairs, and
Psychological Operations trained), and a
retired Federal Employee (US Departments of
Justice and Labor). He has also served as a
Consultant to a large number of government
agencies and currently is a co-owner of his
own security and operations firm, known as
the American Security and Operations Group,
International (ASOG). Chuck’s technical security accomplishments have
been known to many of the senior staff of the Anti Terrorism
Accreditation Board for decades. And, as usual, the success of our
organization is epitomized by dedicated professionals like Chuck.
Chuck voluntarily joined the US Army shortly after completing his
Associate of Arts degree in 1967. After completing his obligatory training
he was selected for Infantry Officers Candidate School where he was
commissioned a 2LT in the Military Intelligence Branch of the Army. After
a succession of intelligence, psychological operations, Special Forces, and
foreign language training he was deployed to Okinawa. In the following 4
years he cut his teeth in Army intelligence, security, and special
operations assignments throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific (Laos,
Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Philippines), and other areas
6
[Type text]
that remain classified. His initial training prepared him for operations and
security planning that led to advanced security training in the Special
Operations Forces with multiple follow-on assignments with the 5th Special
Forces Group (Airborne), Vietnam, the Military Equipment Delivery Team,
Cambodia (MEDTEC), and the Military Assistance Command Vietnam
Studies and Observations Group (MACVSOG). When he returned to the
United States in 1972, he was by-name selected to become the Director
of Security for the US Army Topographic Center, the Army’s element of
the newly formed Defense Mapping Agency. This is where he began his
long and distinguished career as a Special Security Officer designing and
building myriad highly technical and secure facilities for the US
Government to protect against forced entry, electronic interception, and
antiterrorism.
In 1975, Chuck was recruited from the US Army by the Department of
Justice (DOJ). Although he remained an active Reserve Officer, he turned
his full energies into building a new Directorate of Security within that
Department. After initially assisting with the establishment of the office,
Chuck became the Chief, of the Special Security Division with full
responsibility for the care, custody, and control of all Sensitive
Compartmented Information (SCI) stored, used, and processed by the
DOJ. Almost immediately he was named as the Security Officer to the
Attorney General’s Office where he advised the succession of Attorneys
General of the United States and their respected senior staffs from 19761987. During this period of time Chuck also served as the SCI
Accreditation Authority for the DOJ and was specifically nominated and
appointed to this position by the Director of Security, Central Intelligence
Agency.
As the Special Security Officer of the Department of Justice during the
period 1976-1987, he designed, oversaw the construction and
accreditation of the following most sensitive facilities and programs:

The DOJ Special Security Center which included the first multi-level
SCI approved storage vault and formal SCI approved conference room
in the DOJ.

The first SCI storage facility located in the offices of the Attorney
General, as well as a number of other SCI storage facilities located
throughout the Main DOJ Building and the other DOJ Agencies.
7
[Type text]

The first multi-level SCI Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC)
and the Administrative Offices of the Court, which were an integral
part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This effort required
that he be fully briefed by the Departments of State and Defense, the
CIA, NSA, and other specific Program Managers to ensure that he was
specifically aware of all known technical security threats that existed
up to that time in order for him to design and construct a facility
that could defeat such threats. The final Court design established a
new level of security awareness throughout the Intelligence Community.

The first multi-level fully operational Justice Command Center which
integrated all of the DOJ law enforcement agencies into a single
facility that could be commanded by the Attorney General of the
United States. This facility was also fully accredited for an extremely
large number of SCI levels of special access and multiple stand-alone
Special
Access
Programs
utilizing
many
of
the
new
techniques
incorporated in the FISA Court facility.

Subsequently, he designed and oversaw the construction and SCI
accreditation
of
the
initial
10
core
city
Organized
Crime
Drug
Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) Offices across the United States.
In his position as the Special Security Officer of the DOJ, he worked
closely with most of the senior DOJ appointees, the White House,
Departments of State and Defense, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Drug Enforcement Agency, US Marshals Service, Immigration and
Naturalization Service, the Central Intelligence Agency and with the
President’s Organized Crime Commission; where he was the first
appointed Security Officer to the Commission. Chuck also worked closely
with the U.S. Supreme Court in drafting the Security Procedures to the
Classified Information Procedures Act and with the U.S. Federal Courts in
redesigning the physical security requirements for all of US Courts,
nationwide. He also served as the first Security Officer to the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court and was the first Security Officer/EYES
ONLY Officer to the Attorneys General of the United States (1976-1986)
and Security Officer to the President’s Organized Crime Commission.
During this time and due to his myriad assignments and security
responsibilities he was commissioned as a Special Deputy U.S. Marshal.

[Type text]
When he left the DOJ in 1987, he immediately began working as a
consultant to the FBI and then was employed with the General Research
Corporation in McLean, Virginia where he continued to support the
Federal government’s various security programs.
Shortly thereafter, he was recalled to the Federal government by the
President George H.W. Bush Administration to work in the Department of
Labor as Executive Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Labor for the
Veterans Employment and Training Staff. During this assignment, he was
subsequently recalled to Active Duty with the US Army for service in the
Gulf War. Chuck initially served as a Battle Planning Officer with the Third
US Army, then commanded the Coalition Warfare Team, 352 Civil Affairs
Command where he was attached to the 5th Special Forces Group
(Airborne) during the Invasion and Liberation of Kuwait. After Kuwait was
liberated, Chuck served as the Liaison Officer to the Kuwaiti Commanding
General, General Jaber al Sabah until redeployment to the United States.
After his arrival home, he was extended on duty to assist in the Desert
Storm Victory Day Parade.
In 1991, Chuck left the federal Government with the change in
Administrations and became a security and operations consultant. During
the period 1991 through 1998 he served in a variety of consultative
positions working with numerous federal agencies and civilian
corporations. Throughout this period of time, he was involved in security
and operations work, engineering and design of new vehicles for the US
Military Services, and other technical security efforts supporting the
various members of the Intelligence Community.
In 1999, he joined the Wexford Group International as Assistant VicePresident for Asset Protection and Security Operations. In this position he
and members of this staff conducted a number of operational
assessments aimed at preventing the unauthorized access to sensitive
and classified information for a number of specialized organizations
located in the Washington, DC area. He remained with this firm until they
reorganized and were eventually bought out by CACI.
In 2004, Chuck and two members of the Wexford Group started their own
security firm and ran that firm until it was also reorganized into his
current firm where he serves as the CEO and Founder of American
Security and Operations Group, International. During this period of time,
9
[Type text]
Chuck and the members of his security firm branched out and began
assisting the nuclear community with high-tech security solutions to their
physical security requirements.
In 2009, Chuck and another member of his former organization formed
the American Security and Operations Group, International (ASOG). ASOG
is the successor organization of an effort that was started 9 years
earlier. This organization has been fine tuned to ensure that it continues
to provide the very best consultative and technical security and asset
protection services to its clients.
ASOG specializes in the design of
integrated electronic security systems, processes, and procedures to
ensure the maximum degree of protection for its clients.
Most recently, in response to a myriad of terrorist issues worldwide,
ASOG in keeping with its continuous adherence to only representing the
most advanced products, has recently introduced a new variation of an
existing but extraordinarily secure and fully transportable modular building
system for the immediate use, protection, and enhanced survivability of
the US Federal Diplomatic Corps, the Military Services, and the US
Intelligence Community in extremely hostile and/or combat locations. This
US based and developed line of Extreme Security Modular Building
Systems has been modified by ASOG for a number of national and
international
high-security
projects/applications.
These
particular
modifications concern the capability to produce and deliver Deployable
Hardened Emergency Safe Havens (DHESH). This newly released product
provides extreme physical security, ballistic, and blast protection that
provides dramatically enhanced survivability above any other modular and
transportable product available. Additionally, with relatively little
modification, it also lends itself to modification/enhancement resulting in
accreditation as a SCIF that is fully operational the moment it is put into
place within the operational spectrum of any hostile location, including an
active combat zone. This product is available to any government or
private corporation that requires the absolute maximum security,
protection, and survivability of personnel, information, facilities, and
equipment specifically for use in extremely/potentially hostile areas of
operation, including combat zones of operation. Of especial importance is
the fact that this product offers the user agency an opportunity to
deploy the product in an undetermined number of various configurations
that may be discreetly introduced throughout the operational spectrum
without unduly compromising the insertion of these extreme security
10
[Type text]
structures. The product has been tested by the Departments of State and
DOD, is currently being used by the US Nuclear Community, and the
federal law enforcement community.
Over the years, Chuck has successfully functioned as an investigator,
special agent, security professional, special operations officer, terrorism
expert, teacher, and mentor, and to all those that know him, has always
been a trusted friend and always a Soldier.
He holds an AA Degree in Liberal Arts, a BS Degree in the Administration
of Justice, a MS Degree in National Security Strategy, and a PhD. in
Strategic Studies. His military and Federal public service careers span
over 44 years of distinguished service recognized by numerous civilian
honors, most notably, the Attorney General of the United States’ Special
Commendation for Outstanding Service, he was named a Quintillion Peer
(qp) by the former Quintillion Academy, a distinction bestowed on the
living 100 US citizens who have made a lasting contribution to the
National Security of the United States and he has received numerous US
military awards and decorations for outstanding service, heroism, and
valor, as well as many decorations from the countries of Vietnam; Laos;
Cambodia; Thailand; Saudi Arabia; Kuwait; and Germany.
Chuck retired from the US Army/Army Reserve in June 1996 with over
29-years of service. His dedicated service includes more than four years
of combat duty in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and
Kuwait. Shortly after his retirement, he was appointed by the Chief, Army
Reserve to a new program known as the Army Reserve Ambassador
Program. He was initially appointed as Army Reserve Ambassador to the
State of Maryland, where he served four consecutive 3-year tours of duty
after having been reappointed by 3 successive Chiefs of the Army
Reserve. He continues to serve in his 13th year as an Ambassador
Emeritus to the Chief Army Reserve. This honorary position has been
designated by the Secretary of the Army as a Major General-equivalent or
VIP-5 billet.
In this capacity, he remains very active in the following organizations:
Commander, DC Chapter, Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United
States (MOFW); Senior Vice Commander, VA Chapter, Military Order of
World Wars (MOWW); Commander, DC Garrison, Army Navy Union (ANU);

17
[Type text]
requires funds to operate. Mr. Bolton uses his skills, cunning
and “Think Outside the Box” ideas to deprive terror
organizations around the world of their assets and locating
their benefactors. He had a behind the scenes role in most of
the major intelligence operations of the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s.
Currently Mr. Bolton has been assigned the arduous task of
locating and tracking terrorist funding to include numerous
Hawala funding organizations and locations transferring funds
between the Middle East, Australia, Asia and North America.
His expertise and knowledge have proved immeasurable in the
success of this multinational operation.
His efforts have
advanced multiple investigations revealing hundreds of
participants as well as tracking the recipients of said funds.
His efforts exposed the connection between the off system
funding networks and their access to the standard international
financial system. His efforts have brought to light the networks
and actions of many fraudulent financial transactions as well
as exposing the funding operations of human traffickers and
money launders.
In the past 9 years ATAB has had the benefit of Mr. Bolton’s
experience and expertise. He has become an essential part of

This caused the demise of Japans largest trading company
while acquiring the originals of several of the multi Trillion
notes issued by the Japanese to affect the flood of credits on
Yen that threatened the dollar. This forced the Japanese
banks into compliance, resulting in the loss of 10 years.
Exposed and shut down numerous gold and money laundering
operations over a 15 year period resulting in the conviction
and confiscation of billions of dollars. He assisted in acquiring
hundreds of original and fraudulent AU certificates, isolating
many of the master certificates. These actions allowed for the
wholesale control of AU and Platinum deposits worldwide.
