As a defense mission professional, you ask questions others don’t. You understand the nuances of complex situations. You use your skills to think bigger and push further, solving complex problems. We’re looking for someone like you to help create solutions for missions that keep our nation safe. 

What you'll work on:

• Incorporate current and emerging Sustainment doctrine, lessons learned, and best practices into the design and execution of all WFXs in accordance with FORSCOM Business Rules.

• Support scenario development and execution replicating various Operational Environments (OEs), as well as future theaters under development.

• Coordinate the allocation, placement, and correct simulation functioning of all sustainment units within the exercise database structure to ensure doctrinal accuracy and realism.

• Establish a sustainment baseline for every Warfighter Exercises (WFX), collect applicable sustainment data for Mission Readiness Exercises (MRXs) to meet unit training requirements.

• Ensure sustainment functionality and simulation settings are configured to meet training objectives for all participating forces.

• Interpret sustainment simulation data and provide sustainment analytics, assessments, and expert insight to leadership.

• Maintain the Sustainment Common Operational Picture (COP) across all work and response cells.

• Coordinate with Work Station Controllers (WSCs) and sustainment simulation staff to ensure sustainment operations are accurately portrayed and synchronized across the exercise.

• Develop and implement alternative simulation or replication workarounds to mitigate shortfalls within sustainment models and tools, ensuring training objectives are still met.

• Direct and mentor Sustainment Work and Response Cells to meet training objectives across all participating training audiences.

• Attend and participate in all required ELC events, planning conferences, and coordination meetings.

• Prepare sustainment information, data, and products to support all phases of exercise design and execution.

• Facilitate the Sustainment Workgroup throughout the ELC process to ensure synchronized planning and execution of sustainment functions.

• Develop and update sustainment-related content within the Wartime Simulation Model (WARSIM), including Played Items Lists (PILs), Rules and Workarounds (R&Ws), and sustainment modeling enhancements.

• Identify sustainment shortfalls and propose improvements to simulation architecture and scenario designs.

• Synchronize sustainment efforts across all participating strategic partners during WFXs, replicate missing or unavailable partner functions as necessary.

• Coordinate sustainment planning and requirements to meet exercise training needs.

• Participate in sustainment synchronization meetings and working groups across to ensure shared understanding and unified sustainment training effects.

• Review and coordinate Sustainment Mission Supported Event Lists (MSELs) and sustainment-related storylines with the Scenario Design Division (SDD) to ensure they meet all training and doctrinal objectives.

• Identify opportunities to increase sustainment rigor and training value for participating units and commands.

• Coordinate with Operations Groups for sustainment force requirements, including Exercise Support Manning Equipping Document (ESMED) and Simulation Control Plan (SCP) inputs.
