• Coordination, Synchronization, and Adjudication
  • Coordinate with Workstation Controllers (WSCs) and sustainment simulation staff to ensure sustainment operations are accurately portrayed and synchronized across the exercise.
  • Develop and implement alternative simulation or replication workarounds to mitigate shortfalls within sustainment models and tools, ensuring training objectives are still met.
  • Provide Sustainment SME input into Higher Command and Sustainment Higher Command (HICOM/SHICOM) orders; assist in writing, implementing, and executing those orders throughout the WFX ELC.
  • Conduct SHICOM coordination and provide guidance to ensure that command's sustainment functions support overall training objectives.
  • Direct and mentor Sustainment Work and Response Cells to meet training objectives across all participating training audiences.
• Strategic Partner and External Coordination

  • Coordinate sustainment planning and requirements with MCTP Operations Groups, Logistics Exercise Support Directorate (LESD), Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), and USAF Air Mobility Command (AMC) to meet exercise training needs.
  • Participate in sustainment synchronization meetings and working groups across MCTP to ensure shared understanding and unified sustainment training effects.
• Scenario Development and Training Support
  • Review and coordinate Sustainment Mission Supported Event Lists (MSELs) and sustainment-related storylines with the MCTP Scenario Design Division (SDD) to ensure they meet all training and doctrinal objectives.
  • Identify opportunities to increase sustainment rigor and training value for participating units and commands.
