A biographical note reads:

Having read for a doctorate in the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of St. Andrews, Mils joined the Centre for Human Sciences of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) of the UK Ministry of Defence in 1998. Initially contributing technical input to Information Operations research, he rapidly came to be deployed on a range of research and consultancy activies across the organisation. In 2000 Mils was appointed Task Manager and in the following year Capability Group Leader as DERA moved towards privatisation (as QinetiQ). Mils left QinetiQ in 2002, and joined DERA's successor organisation the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL). At the same time, Mils was seconded to the Civil Contingencies Secretariat of the Cabinet Office.
Mils has also served as a member of the Department of Trade and Industry Taskforce on Future Society and Crime and Secretary of a Defence Scientific Advisory Committee Working Party on Information Operations and Information Technology.[1]
