In 2003, General Peter Schoomaker chose Mixon to lead Task Force Modularity with the aim of changing the US Army's structure.[7] The task force would attempt to break the US Army up into smaller, more effective "units of action." This modularization represented a shift from a hierarchical structure to a functional structure.[8]

Mixon would go on to co-found Level Five Associates, a leadership consulting company specializing in change management, in 2009 with his long-time friend and former classmate Major General (ret.) John Batiste.[3] Mixon and Batiste co-wrote the best-selling book, Cows in the Living Room: Developing an Effective Strategic Plan and Sustaining It, in 2014.[12]
