Vector Force Development, LLC

Let’s shine the spotlight on Paul Garcia, a Project Manager at Vector Force Development in the Carolinas! Over the past 1.3 years, Paul has been a vital force behind the scenes, handling everything from scheduling and billing to clearing obstacles so our field crews can thrive. For Paul, the most rewarding part of the job is watching his teammates grow and seeing their hard work recognized by leadership, a testament to his own advice for newcomers to "put in the elbow grease and be a sponge for knowledge." When he isn't keeping major projects on track, this kid at heart loves spending quality time with his wife and kids, gaming, or adding to his anime figure collection.

Thank you Paul for all that you do!

The strength of the U.S. Army Reserve lies in the unique ability of its Soldiers to excel in two worlds at once. Today, we honor the men and women who balance civilian careers and family lives with a profound commitment to national defense. It isn’t just about the uniform; it’s about the discipline and leadership they bring back to our communities every single day. Happy 118th Birthday to those who stay twice as strong.

Vector recently participated in the SGA 2026 Conference to share insights on cross bore risk identification and proactive safety practices for critical infrastructure. Following our presentation, our team led a hands-on field demonstration featuring a Vector CCTV truck and iBak tractor, providing attendees with a live look at lateral launch operations and active inspection scenarios. We want to thank Billy Ratliff, David Marlar, Sam Hankerson, and Nick Gast for their expert ex*****on throughout the event. We also extend our gratitude to Duke Energy and SGA for the opportunity to collaborate on these essential industry safety standards.
