  • Mentor and supervise WARSIM Battle Simulation Workstation Operators assigned to the Special Operations Work Cell, also known as Work Area Uniform.
  • Input computer orders and generate reports as directed.
  • Ensure the OPFOR Commander’s intent is accurately executed within JLCCTC.
  • Ensure all OPFOR operations comply with current applicable OPFOR doctrine.
  • Coordinate maneuver operations between command post staff and simulation operators.
  • Manage OPFOR Special Operations efforts for the OPFOR Support Division.
  • Deploy occasionally to forward locations, including locations outside the United States, to assist with OPFOR operations in support of U.S. military requirements, as needed.
  • Applicants selected for this position will be subject to a security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. An active Secret clearance is required.
Required Qualifications
  • Ability to use the Microsoft Office suite of programs.
  • Knowledge of Army and Joint regulations.
  • Knowledge of current Special Operations doctrine.
  • Bachelor’s degree with at least 5 years of military experience; or high school diploma with at least 10 years of military experience.
  • Active Secret clearance.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience as a former field grade officer, warrant officer, or sergeant major.
  • Experience serving in a key developmental position at the brigade or battalion level.
  • Experience with constructive simulation models, including Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability and Warfighters’ Simulation.
  • Experience with FM 7-100 series OPFOR doctrine.
  • Experience working with the Mission Command Training Program.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
  • Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Customer-focused approach.
