Essential Duties and Responsibilities
The Fires Extensible C4I Instrumentation Suite (ExCIS) Database Manager is responsible for constructing scenarios, operating, and maintaining databases for JLCCTC-ERF/ JLCCTC Ver. 8.1 simulations and Fires ExCIS/ Fire Sim XXI systems. These duties will include:
Operate, provide instruction, and maintain a variety of computer-based training for simulations/models with respect to Maneuver (specifically Infantry, Armor or Engineering), Aviation (both rotary and fixed wing), Logistics, Fires (specifically Artillery and Naval Surface Fires), and/or Military Intelligence Operations.
Research documents and extracts for factual data describing the composition of military forces in a model/simulation.
Assist in reviewing classified material and recommend a lesser classification for use in events, models/simulations, demonstrations, reports, and/or briefings.
Edit doctrinal manuscripts, analyze problem areas, and postulate feasible solutions for implementation in simulation training events.
Translate "real world" or fictional enemy and friendly task organizations, tables of equipment, supply stockages, and operational orders into simulation databases.
Conduct pre-event tests and evaluation of supporting databases, and parametric data.
Attend conferences and meetings at both home station and other off-site locations, providing recommendations and analysis of model/simulation employment both in preparation for and during exercises.
Provide analysis of emerging simulation technologies against stated requirements to include drafting test plans, conducting tests, publishing test results, and maintaining/archiving simulation-based training scenarios (including organizational databases, tactics, weapon system capabilities, doctrine, and force structures) for use in preparation of future exercises.
As it relates to the functional area, is capable of training, operating, and maintaining new models/simulations or upgrades to current models/simulations as they are introduced.
