• Civil Affairs Coordination:
  • Coordinate closely with Civil Affairs (CA) personnel to ensure civilian activity, population sentiment, and infrastructure conditions are accurately represented in the simulation.
  • Provide timely updates and situational awareness to Civil Affairs teams on civilian activities, population moods, and humanitarian developments within key areas of interest.
  • Support integration of civilian dynamics into staff decision-making, assessments, and reporting.
• Infrastructure Monitoring and Reporting:
  • Monitor the status of bridges and other critical infrastructure within WARSIM, primarily roads and bridges.
  • Maintain and update the Bridge Status Tracker, ensuring accurate reflection of infrastructure conditions throughout the exercise.
  • Provide bridge and infrastructure updates to the Higher Command (HICOM) and Exercise Control Group (ECG) to enable informed adjudication and operational decisions.
