She most recently was responsible for the final construction phase and opening of the Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility, where she served as the first facility warden. In that capacity, she was responsible for a staff of 600 soldiers and civilians which provided custody, control and comprehensive correctional rehabilitation treatment programs and administration for more than 400 military prisoners. She was also responsible to provide 400 soldiers and units to deploy worldwide and conduct military confinement or detainee operations in support of senior military commanders.

From 2008 to 2010 Dawn served as the chief of the Operations Branch for the Antiterrorism and Force Protection Division supporting the United States European Command located in Stuttgart, Germany. During this assignment, she conducted strategic and operational level joint, combined, and multinational antiterrorism planning to support the European Command plans and operations center. In addition, she participated in crisis and deliberate planning and strategic movements in support of contingency mission execution within the command while simultaneously coordinating antiterrorism operations and plans with the European Command staff, Joint Staff, Department of Defense Agencies, Department of State, and other federal agencies.

Prior to 2008, Dawn Hilton was assigned to a myriad of posts within the United States Army most notably as senior advisor to the Afghanistan Ministry of Defense in detention operations. She provided oversight of training and mentoring of the Afghanistan National Detention Facility (ANDF) Army guard force ensuring safe and humane confinement of enemy combatants in accordance with international standards as dictated in the Geneva Convention.  She was integral in the development and implementation of the program which transferred detainees from U.S. to Afghan governmental control, including the development and execution of Afghan-led legal proceedings involving the Afghan Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defense and numerous nongovernmental agencies.
