  • Oversee work cell operations during exercises to ensure realistic simulation of battlefield environments.
  • Generate Work Cell reports to support After Action Reviews (AARs).
  • Identify and implement workarounds for simulation functionality gaps.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve simulation anomalies and escalate issues through Senior Control when required.
  • Provide detailed feedback and contribute to contractor exercise AARs.

Required Skills

  • Ability to collaborate with exercise control teams, operational planners, and training staff.
  • Familiarity with Army and Joint doctrine, regulations, and publications related to training and operations.

Required Experience
  • Completion of Intermediate Level Education (ILE/MEL4) or Sergeants Major Course (or equivalent).
  • Former field grade officer, senior warrant officer, or senior noncommissioned officer. Highly desirable candidates include retired Lieutenant Colonels (O-5), Chief Warrant Officers (W-4/W-5), or Sergeants Major (E-9).
  • Experience serving in a key developmental position at the battalion or brigade level.
  • Demonstrated tactical and technical proficiency within a Warfighting Function (WfF).
  • Experience supporting military training exercises or operational planning environments.
