• Prepare Time‑Phased Force and Deployment Data (TPFDD) or other deployment or force flow products when required by the exercise.

• Conduct or commission country studies, area or terrain analysis, and other products necessary to support planning and exercise realism.

• Coordinate closely with military personnel, exercise designers, control staff, and customer representatives to ensure integration of plans into exercise design and execution.

• Maintain version control and document management for all OPLAN or OPORD materials and ensure timely delivery of CDRL A‑12 and other contractual deliverables.

• Conduct quality control reviews, red‑team or plausibility checks, and ensure legal, ROE, and interagency considerations are addressed or flagged.

• Provide briefings, walkthroughs, and lessons learned to senior military leadership, exercise control, and training audiences.
