What is the difference between Military Science Modeling Simulation vs Military Operations Analyst?

AspectMilitary Science Modeling SimulationMilitary Operations Analyst
Required CredentialsBachelor's in military science, engineering, or related field; proficiency in simulation softwareBachelor's in military science, logistics, or related field; analytical skills
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, simulation centers, military training facilitiesField operations, military bases, strategic planning offices
Employer & Industry UsageDefense contractors, military research units, government agenciesMilitary branches, defense agencies, strategic planning units

Military Science Modeling Simulation focuses on developing and analyzing military simulations using specialized software, while Military Operations Analysts interpret real-world military data to improve strategies. Both roles require a background in military science and work within defense-related environments, but their core functions differ in application—simulation development versus operational analysis.

Job description

Modeling & Simulation Analyst - PTOC
Quantico, VA
The Modeling and Simulation Analyst reports to the MSTP Program Manager and receives work direction derivatives from the Modeling and Simulation Section Lead.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Operate, provide instruction, and maintain a variety of computer-based training for simulations/models with respect to Maneuver (specifically Infantry, Armor or Engineering), Aviation (both rotary and fixed wing), Logistics, Fires (specifically, Artillery and Naval Surface Fires), and/or Military Intelligence Operations.

  • Research documents and extracts for factual data describing the composition of military forces in a model/simulation.

  • Analyze a functional area (aviation, ground combat, command and control, combat service support, intelligence, and opposing forces) and identify strengths and weakness as they occur during a simulation-supported event.

  • Edit doctrinal manuscripts, analyze problem areas, and postulate feasible solutions for implementation in simulation training events.

  • Translate real world or fictional enemy and friendly force structures into an exercise simulation database/batch file.

  • Conduct pre-event tests and evaluation of supporting databases, and parametric data.

  • Attend conferences and meetings at both home station and other off-site locations, providing recommendations and analysis of model/simulation employment both in preparation for and during exercises.

  • Participate in structured simulation training events/exercises, and simulated rehearsals of operational plans/orders.

  • Analyze the functional area and advise the response cell members as to the best method of implementing a course of action given the strengths and weaknesses of the simulation.

  • Provide MTWS training to terminal operators and subordinate unit response cell OIC.

  • Conduct post-event critique and analysis employing various after-action review tools/applications.

  • Analyze emerging simulation technologies against stated requirements to include; drafting test plans, conducting tests, publishing test results, and maintaining/archiving simulation-based training scenarios (i.e. organizational databases, tactics, weapon system capabilities, doctrine, and force structures) for use in preparation of future exercises.

  • Document the salient properties of the simulation being evaluated and their relevance to Marine Corps or Joint training.

  • As it relates to the functional area, can train, operating, and maintaining new models/simulations or upgrades to current models/simulations as they are introduced.

  • Assists government counterparts in the performance of their responsibilities.

  • Perform other related duties incidental to the work described

EDUCATION
  • Bachelor's degree preferred; four years of DoD modeling and simulation experience will serve in lieu of degree.

EXPERIENCE
  • Minimum five years operational experience in the functional area of Maneuver (specifically Infantry, Armor or Engineering), Aviation (both rotary and fix wing), Logistics, Fires (specifically, Artillery and Naval Surface Fires), and/or Military Intelligence and methods of meeting training and readiness standards during computer-assisted exercises (demonstrated ability to operate, provide instruction, and maintain a variety of computer based training for simulations/models in said warfighting functions).

  • Minimum three years of demonstrated knowledge of military doctrine, tactics, and command relationships at MAGTF or joint/combined command level as measured by actual operational experience (real world operations is desired).

  • Modeling and Simulation Experience. Minimum two years in DoD modeling and simulation, and have previous experience with MTWS, and/or other simulation models such as VBS, JCATS, JSAF, OneSAF, WARSIM, AWSIM, CBS, or JTLS.

  • Direct participation in real world operations is desired.

CORE SKILLS/COMPETENCIES
