From Josh’s obituary:

LT Drablos checked in November 2018 and was soon contributing to Fleet Cyber Command's mission in support of U.S. INDOPACOM, helping to align defensive lines of effort to theater priorities. LT Drablos held several roles within Fleet Cyber Command's Task Force – Pacific while the new organization defined itself as the coordinator and synchronizing element for all Cyber operations within the INDOPACOM AOR.  He first assumed the role of Future Operations Officer for Defensive Cyber Operations, conducting planning of operations for over 700 cyber warriors in one of the Department of Defense's largest theaters of operations.  Having excelled within that role, he quickly found himself acting as the Current Operations Officer for Defensive Cyber Operations, ensuring tracking and execution of numerous on-net defensive operations.  These efforts helped to create detailed reports which were provided to USINDOPACOM and Fleet Cyber Command Flag Officers and General Officers, informing decision-making and allowing for rapid adjustment of defensive posture.  In February 2019, LT Drablos attended Maritime Staff Operator’s Course in Newport, Rhode Island to hone skills in operational level planning, increasing Task Force – Pacific’s cadre of personnel capable of providing support to USCYBERCOM and INDOPACOM decision cycles in dynamic and complex environments. LT Drablos was one of only six personnel who had completed the class and was poised to be a major contributor as an integrator of defensive cyber operations into the plans of INDOPACOM and its maritime, air and land components. His gregarious and outgoing personality also propelled into position to lead the Task Force – Pacific in-processing team, making him one of the first people that new checks-ins met, a role which he embraced with such enthusiasm that he inspired many personnel in the importance of their service.

LT Drablos will forever be remembered as a plankowner and member of the Task Force - Pacific Ohana.  His energy and dedication will be greatly missed.
