• Produce event-based media MSEL injects and IO storylines that are synchronized with the exercise's Road to War and other scenario elements.

• Conduct on-camera interviews, voice recordings, and simulated broadcast productions as requested by the Government; manage on-site media production assets and personnel during exercise execution.
• Operate and manage contested information domain activities in simulation and real-world play areas, including deployment of social media-like outputs and tracking audience effects where appropriate.
• Coordinate closely with IO Scenario Writers, the JED, EXCON, HICOM, and Rules & Workaround Committee to ensure media actions are authorized, timed, and adjudicated per exercise R&W guidance.
• Maintain a media product library and database that documents all media outputs, timing, message themes, and MSEL links; update live as exercise events evolve.
• Train, monitor, and advise OPFOR and exercise participants on media engagement techniques, likely adversary narratives, and expected effects.
• Provide input to the IO Annex, STARTEX materials, and after-action products describing media execution, impacts, and recommended improvements.
• Prepare recommended media workarounds and present them to the MCTP Rules and Workaround Committee as required.

• Familiarity with Information Operations concepts, adversary information tactics, and exercise control processes (EXCON/JED).
• Strong writing, storytelling, and message development skills; ability to craft persuasive narratives for multiple audiences.
• Proficiency with media production tools (video/audio editing, social publishing platforms, content management systems) and common office software.
• Excellent coordination and communication skills; ability to work in a high-tempo exercise environment and adapt media outputs in real time.
