LTC Hayes first served as Armament Platoon Leader, B/122nd Aviation Support Battalion and deployed his platoon to OEF-IX/X in April of 2009.  While in Kandahar, Afghanistan, he was transferred to C/1-17 Air Cavalry, where he served as an Air Cavalry Scout Platoon Leader for the remaining 10 months of the deployment and an additional 8 months after redeployment. In preparation for a subsequent deployment to OEF XI/XII, his platoon was selected as the core for building F/1-17 CAV, an OH/AH Troop which would support 3-82 GSAB. He led his platoon through train up and a Joint Readiness Training Center rotation, whereupon he moved to 3-82 GSAB to serve as the Recon/Attack planner and OH-58D PIC/AMC through the deployment.   

LTC Hayes attended AVC3 in June 2012 and was selected to attend the OH-58D Maintenance Test Pilot course and Aviation Maintenance Officer Course in preparation for command of D/6-17 CAV, Fort Wainwright, Alaska.  He led his Aviation Unit Maintenance Troop through a National Training Center rotation, divested the Squadron’s thirty OH-58D aircraft as a part of the Army Restructuring Initiative, and served a nine-month tour with the Squadron in South Korea as the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade’s Rotational Cavalry Squadron. Upon redeployment, LTC Hayes served as the senior remaining Commissioned Officer in 6-17 CAV after deactivation of the unit and assisted in receiving personnel and equipment from 3-159th Aviation, Germany, as part of the 1-25th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion build.  He then served as the S3 Operations Officer of the USARAK Aviation Task Force for ten months until his selection to attend US Air Force Command and General Staff College at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. He earned a Masters Degree in Military Operational Art and Science with Honors, and attended the AH-64D Aircraft Qualification Course en route to his next assignment.   

Selected to return to Fort Wainwright, Alaska, LTC Hayes served as S3 Operations Officer, 1-25th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, with whom he again served a nine-month rotation to South Korea, this time as the Rotational Heavy Attack Reconnaissance Squadron.  During the rotation, LTC Hayes served as the Task Force Executive Officer and Operations Officer simultaneously for several months, until finally transitioning to the Task Force Executive Officer role through redeployment.  In July 2019 LTC Hayes transferred to 1-52 GSAB, where he served as the Executive Officer during his remaining year in Alaska. 

On completion of his second Alaska tour, LTC Hayes and family moved back to Fort Rucker where he served as the Course Director for the Air Cavalry Leaders Course from 2020-2021 and from 2021 to 2023 as the Commander of A/1-145th AVN REGT.  During his tenure as ANVIL 6, LTC Hayes was responsible for the design, planning, resourcing, and execution of the new Advanced Warfighting Skills course and the Aviation Warrant Officer ILE Follow On, as well as overseeing the CAC-directed Captains Career Course modernization initiative. While in command he continued to contribute regularly as a platform instructor in multiple programs of instruction.
