M&S Fires Military Analyst

Duties. Operate, provide instruction, and maintain various training to simulation models with respect to maneuver, aviation, fires, logistics, and intelligence operations with respect to billet assignment, and contractor's personal military background. Translate real world or fictional enemy and friendly force structures into an exercise simulation database. Study highly classified material and sanitizes to a lesser classification level for entry into a model, simulation or report. Provide analysis of a functional area (e.g., aviation, ground combat, command and control, combat service support, intelligence, and opposing forces) and identify strengths and weaknesses as they occur during a simulation-supported event. Research documents and extracts or factual data for composition of military forces for a model/ simulation. Edit doctrinal manuscripts, analyzes problem areas, and postulate feasible solutions for simulation and training events. Participate in and conducts reviews and structured walk-through of simulation events and training, operation orders and plans, and information gathering requirements. Provide analysis during exercises and attends conferences and meetings at both the resident site and other locations off-site. Assists in reviewing classified material and recommends a lesser classification for use in events, models simulations, demonstrations, reports, and/or briefings. As new simulation models or upgrades to current simulation models are introduced, the M&S section is required to train; operate, maintain the functional areas of the new model or upgrade. Provide analysis of emergent simulation technologies against stated requirements. This includes drafting test plans, conducting tests, publishing test results, and maintaining and archiving of simulation based training scenarios including organizational databases, tactics, weapon system capabilities, doctrine, and force structures for use in preparation of strategic or tactical exercises. Document the salient properties of the system(s) being evaluated and their relevance to Marine Corps or Joint training. Translate operations orders into simulation databases. Conduct pre-event tests and evaluation of supporting databases, and parametric data. Conduct post-event critique and analysis employing various after action review systems.
Civilian Education. Bachelor's degree in operations research, management, military science, political science or equivalent area desired or minimum three years-experience in military training and education required
Military Education. Minimum three years-experience in military training and education. Attendance at Intermediate Level School such as Marine Corps CSC or completion of equivalent nonresident course is preferred.
Military Operational Experience. Minimum five years operational experience in maneuver, aviation, fires, logistics, or intelligence operations as it pertains to computer-assisted exercises. Minimum three years demonstrated knowledge of military doctrine, tactics, and command relationships at MAGTF or joint/combined command level as measured by actual operational force employment experience. Minimum three years of experience conducting exercises or analysis efforts. Direct participation in real world operation is desired.
Modeling and Simulation Experience. Minimum three years of experience in DOD modeling and simulation, and have previous experience with MTWS, and other simulation models such as CACCTUS, DVTE, JCATS, JSAF, OneSAF, CBS, or JTLS.
Proof of Security Clearance. Must be eligible for at least a secret clearance.
