The D.A.V.E. Protocol: A Commitment to Innovation, Memory, and Sustainability

Introduction to David Victor MacMillan:

A New Kind of Work: The Services of David MacMillan II

This isn’t just a résumé — it’s a body of work.
David Victor MacMillan is a builder of systems, a connector of stories, and a strategist with two decades of field experience across Australia and Southeast Asia. From humanitarian operations and documentary production to cultural innovation and safety design, his career bridges the gap between the challenges of today and the technologies of tomorrow.

David’s work is guided by lived credibility — shaped in real-world environments that demanded clarity, adaptability, and results. He’s led projects in complex, high-pressure contexts and brought calm, creative leadership to teams navigating everything from disaster response to community engagement.

At the heart of his practice is The D.A.V.E. Protocol — the Digital Archival & Verification Entity:
a methodology for designing, documenting, and sustaining intelligent systems that preserve truth, strengthen accountability, and empower communities. This approach adapts proven principles from defense and emergency strategy for use in cultural, educational, and civilian sectors.

Core Capabilities:

• Strategic Planning & Crisis Management
• Cross-Cultural Project Design (Australia & ASEAN)
• Digital Archiving, Verification & Research Integrity
• Safety, Security & Civil Affairs Training
• Community and Workforce Development
• Innovation through AI and Emerging Technologies

In a world increasingly defined by change, David MacMillan represents a grounded, forward-thinking professional who combines practical intelligence with creative vision — a collaborator who knows how to build resilience, connection, and purpose into every mission.

Authenticity Finds Its Audience

From uncovering the stories of long-lost photojournalists like Taizo Ichinose and Sean Flynn, to developing the MacMillan Intelligence Education (MIE) Platform, David MacMillan’s work demonstrates sustainability not only in systems, but in truth itself.

His mission — to protect memory, preserve integrity, and connect people across borders — has earned the respect of a remarkably diverse network of advocates. From the creative and cultural worlds to business and sport, David’s message of authenticity and resilience resonates deeply.

It’s a message that has connected with icons such as Bob Marley, Pauly Shore, Chris Stein (Blondie), and Green Day; with figures of unfiltered voice and character like Andrew Dice Clay; with men of strength and drive like Eddie Hall and MMA legend Dan Severn; and with entrepreneurial leaders such as Brad Lea. Even the punk edge of The U.S. Bombs finds common ground in David’s ethos of honesty, independence, and purpose.

At its heart, this connection speaks to something universal — that authenticity, whether in music, art, or the rediscovery of forgotten history, will always find its audience. David MacMillan’s work stands at that intersection: where creativity meets credibility, and where truth never goes out of style.

A Leadership Style Forged in Grit and Culture

David MacMillan’s commitment to innovation is anchored in memory — the belief that the future should learn from the past. His leadership combines investigative tenacity, technological foresight, and a profound respect for Asian cultures.

It’s a style shaped not in a boardroom, but in the creative heat of Los Angeles’ punk scene — a space that valued independence, truth, and courage over convention. That same spirit of rebellion and curiosity continues to drive his work today: questioning comfort, challenging assumptions, and building systems that serve people, not just institutions.

When David brings that energy into places like Cambodia, it’s not as a disruptor or conqueror, but as a collaborator. He fuses Western grit with the quiet endurance and wisdom of Southeast Asian cultures, creating bridges where others see barriers. It’s this blend — raw authenticity meeting cultural humility — that defines his approach to leadership, innovation, and partnership across borders.

David’s mission is simple:

^{“Tell the truth. Build the tools. Leave no one behind.” This isn’t just a slogan; it’s a code of conduct. You tell the truth first, no matter how ugly, because without it, you’re building on sand. Then you build the tools—the systems, the frameworks, the education platforms—that give people a real chance to protect themselves and their communities. And finally, you leave no one behind. Not the veterans, not the marginalized, not the ones the system has forgotten. You bring everyone with you, because a strong system is only as strong as its weakest link.”}
