Bradley “Brad” S. Hodges
Technical Operations Officer
Office of Technical Operations (OTO)

It is with deep regret that DIA announces the death of a DIA employee, Mr. Bradley “Brad” S. Hodges, who passed away on Wednesday, April 29, 2020.  Mr. Hodges was assigned as an Intelligence Officer in the Office of Technical Operations (OTO), in the Directorate for Operations at DIA’s Reston, VA facility.

Prior to joining DIA, Mr. Hodges served in the United States Army as a Senior Counterintelligence Agent.  His military service included multiple combat deployments supporting dangerous and important operations conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan.

SFC Hodges joined DIA in 2005 to support OTO in the Directorate for Operations. 

Upon leaving the service in 2010, Mr. Hodges joined DIA as a civilian Technical Operations Officer within OTO, where he served DIA and the United States with distinction and honor.  Just prior to his passing, Mr. Hodges was selected to serve as the senior training and development officer within OTO ensuring that future technical officers were prepared to execute the most sensitive of missions in support of the warfighter and DIA’s mission.

 Mr. Hodges is survived by his wife – Joy, daughter – Zoe and twins, Macy and Braden.

 The date for a future memorial service will be provided at a later time.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made in Brad’s name to paws4vets.org.
