Jim Channon, a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army, now retired, is a futurologist and military theorist. Channon is primarily recognised for creating the First Earth Battalion Operations Manual.
Many of the ideas contained in this and the outcomes of putting such concepts into practice have been documented by journalist Jon Ronson in his book The Men Who Stare at Goats. According to Ronson's book, Channon spent time in the 70s with many of the people in California credited with starting the human potential movement, and subsequently wrote an operations manual for a First Earth Battalion.
An Ode Magazine article revealed Channon's current work as global visionary and cited him as a world-class intelligent optimist. He appeared on the cover of UFO magazine while the cover story, written by Bill Birnes, tells of the practical side of Channon's work in the military.
Jim Channon was featured in Fortune magazine as the business world's first corporate Shaman. He was featured in Omni and other magazine/websites as the founder of the Army’s First Earth Battalion.
