  • Provide observational feedback on unit interactions with media as applicable

Minimum Requirements:

  • Minimum 3–5 years of experience in journalism, news writing, or broadcast media production
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear, accurate, and engaging news content under deadline constraints
  • Experience conducting interviews and presenting on camera in a professional setting
  • Demonstrated successful experience producing print content such as articles, layouts, graphics along with development of themes and message narratives.
  • Proficiency with video recording and editing tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar)
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, dynamic training environment
  • Availability to support periodic, short-duration exercises (typically 2-3 weeks in length)
  • Willingness to travel and work extended hours during exercise execution
  • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance

Preferred Experience and Qualifications:

  • Prior experience supporting military training exercises or role-player/replication environments
  • Familiarity with U.S. Army operations, structure, or Public Affairs processes
  • Experience producing newspapers, newsletters, or daily publications
  • On-camera broadcast journalism experience (live or recorded)
  • Experience with graphic design/layout tools (e.g., Adobe InDesign)
  • Knowledge of information operations, media effects, or strategic communications
