FORGED IN
SERVICE.
Strategic Intel, LLC was built by veterans, for the mission — delivering the specialized expertise that only comes from those who have lived the operational environment.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF
DEFENSE CONTRACTOR
Strategic Intel, LLC was founded on a simple premise: the nation's most critical defense training and intelligence missions deserve support from people who have actually executed them. We are not a staffing company that happens to serve defense clients — we are a team of veterans and cleared professionals who built a company around the gaps we saw firsthand.
As a certified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), we bring the agility of a small business with the technical depth of a specialized defense firm. Our focus areas — wargaming, modeling and simulation, AI integration, and intelligence analysis — are not afterthoughts. They are our core identity.
We operate in the Suffolk DoD Complex area, positioning us directly alongside Joint Staff J7 DDJTE operations and the broader Hampton Roads defense ecosystem. Our proximity to the nation's premier joint training enterprise is not coincidental — it is strategic.
Strategic Intel, LLC holds full Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business certification. Our SDVOSB status enables prime contractors to meet DoD small business subcontracting goals and supports government agencies in fulfilling set-aside requirements under FAR Part 19.
"To deliver mission-critical wargaming, intelligence analysis, and AI-integrated training support that strengthens the readiness of America's joint force and allied commands — executed with the precision and integrity of those who served."
COMMAND ELEMENT
Grady Dunn is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Intel, LLC. A service-disabled veteran with deep operational and analytical experience, Grady built Strategic Intel to bridge the gap between the operational expertise of the veteran community and the technical demands of modern defense contracting.
His background spans military operations, intelligence analysis, and exercise support — giving him firsthand understanding of the requirements that Joint Staff J7, COCOMs, and allied commands place on their contractor support teams. Grady's vision for Strategic Intel is rooted in the belief that the best support for the warfighter comes from those who have been the warfighter.
Based in the Hampton Roads area, Grady has positioned Strategic Intel at the center of the Suffolk DoD Complex ecosystem — directly adjacent to the nation's premier joint training enterprise and the prime contractors who support it.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Mission First
Every engagement is treated as a mission. We bring the same discipline, precision, and accountability to our contracts that our veterans brought to their service.
Veteran Integrity
As an SDVOSB, we are built on the foundation of service and sacrifice. Our word is our bond — to our clients, our partners, and our country.
Technical Precision
We do not generalize. We specialize. Our team delivers niche expertise that large contractors cannot replicate at the speed and quality the mission demands.
Cleared & Ready
Our personnel maintain active clearances and are ready to mobilize on short notice. We understand the urgency of exercise cycles and surge requirements.
