Col. Victor Richard (Rich) Satterlund is a seminar leader in the Advanced Military Studies
Program (AMSP) of the School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS). He holds a master's in
Strategy and Management from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
Satterlund graduated from Jacksonville State University and was commissioned an infantry
officer in 2000. He has extensive operational experience leading, training and deploying with
Soldiers in the 2nd Infantry Division, the 2nd and 3rd Ranger Battalions, the 75th Ranger
Regiment, the 4th Infantry Division, and the 10th Mountain Division. He has participated in
multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan during those years.
Prior to arriving at Fort Leavenworth to attend the Advanced Strategic Studies Program
(ASLSP)* in SAMS, he served with the 10th Mountain Division as the Division G3 for 16
months. According to SAMS Director Col. Brian Payne, Satterlund's experience as a division operations officer has been
invaluable in enabling students to learn and develop their understanding of operational art and doctrine. During Advanced
Military Studies Program (AMSP) exercises, Col. Satterlund's experience, knowledge, guidance and mentorship has
greatly increased the effectiveness of these future planners. Col. Satterlund's efforts will produce return on investment for
his students and the organizations they will serve for many years to come.
*Note: ASLSP students attend SAMS for two years. In the second year they serve as seminar leaders for the AMSP students.
