He later transitioned to a role in counterintelligence, working with the world-renowned 142nd Military Intelligence Battalion in Draper, Utah. Additionally, he served as a linguist in Italian, further building and developing his skills in interpretation, analysis, negotiation, and vetting individuals and organizations.

Mr. Laing's contributions have been acknowledged through numerous awards.
