  • Work with course managers to allocate simulation time for formal training.
  • Coordinate with regional users, NGB, and PEO-STRI to ensure proper utilization of allocated hours and devices.
  • Verify and correct contractor device performance reports and submit to the COTR.
  • Maintain and review a comprehensive publication library for all simulators.
  • Serve as an RFMSS Fire Desk Operator, scheduling and closing out simulator periods within required timelines.
