MARSOC G7 Joint Fires and Effects Training Integrator

Threat Tec, LLC•Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC

6d•Onsite

About The Position

The MARSOC G7 Joint Fires and Effects Training Integrator provides targeting and joint fires subject matter expertise in direct support of MARSOC collective training events. Operating full-time at Stone Bay, NC, this individual serves as the primary fires integration advisor for MARSOC G7 training programs, ensuring Marine Raiders and supporting elements are prepared to plan, coordinate, and employ lethal effects across the full spectrum of special operations. The integrator designs, scripts, and executes joint fires training scenarios that replicate the complex, politically sensitive, and time-constrained environments characteristic of special operations conducted outside of declared conflict areas. This position requires up to 25% travel in support of training events, coordination meetings, and exercise participation at locations across the continental United States and potentially overseas.

Requirements

Minimum of 15 years of joint fires and targeting experience, with demonstrated expertise in planning and employing lethal effects in environments outside of declared conflict.
Minimum of 10 years of experience serving within or in direct support of USSOCOM component commands, including JSOC, USASOC, AFSOC, Naval Special Warfare (NSW), or MARSOC.
Current Top Secret/SCI clearance.
Thorough understanding of the F3EAD targeting cycle, joint fires integration procedures, and applicable authorities governing the use of lethal force in special operations contexts.
Proficiency with K Series, J Series, COTS, and VMF data formats and the systems used to pass targetable information across joint and SOF networks.
Ability to research, analyze, and apply real-world joint fires and targeting TTPs from current and recent global conflicts, translating operational observations into relevant training content for environments where doctrine does not provide sufficient guidance.
Demonstrated experience with a broad range of joint fires platforms, munitions, and capabilities, including fifth-generation aircraft such as the F-35, long-range precision strike systems such as the Maritime Strike Tomahawk and PRISM missile, and the full range of electronic attack capabilities available to joint force commanders.
Capability to advise MSOCs on the employment, targeting requirements, coordination procedures, and effects of these systems within a joint fires framework, and must be prepared to incorporate these capabilities into training scenarios and academic instruction.
Demonstrated experience coordinating with joint and conventional force partners, including USSOCOM component commands and conventional units, in support of multi-component training events or exercises.
Familiarity with target development processes, RSTA operations, and the integration of organic robotics and autonomous systems for ISR and lethal and non-lethal effects employment within a joint fires framework.
Broad awareness of the joint and SOF training landscape, including available exercises, programs, and events that provide targeting and fires proficiency opportunities for SOF units.
Proficiency with relevant fires doctrine, including Joint Publication 3-09 and applicable USSOCOM directives governing fires and targeting.

Nice To Haves

Prior experience supporting or conducting SOF collective training events or exercises, including RAVEN or similarly structured SOF collective training programs.
Prior service with MARSOC, USSOCOM, or a SOF component command is desired.

Responsibilities

Designs and scripts joint fires and effects training events in support of MARSOC collective training exercises, developing operationally relevant scenarios, exercise injects, and evaluation criteria that accurately reflect the targeting requirements and fires employment authorities governing special operations forces in denied, sensitive, and non-permissive environments.
Attends and supports training events as required, serving as the on-site joint fires subject matter expert throughout exercise execution.
Advises MARSOC G7 staff and unit leadership on fires integration procedures, targeting processes, and lethal effects employment throughout the training planning and execution cycle.
Conducts instruction for Marine Special Operations Companies (MSOCs) across all aspects of joint fires, including targeting processes, fires coordination procedures, and the transmission of targetable information across multiple data formats.
Develops and refines instructional materials, lesson plans, and practical exercises to support pre-event training.
Continuously researches, collects, and incorporates real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) drawn from conflicts and operations across the globe to inform MSOC joint fires and targeting training.
Actively monitors and analyzes how joint fires and targeting are being planned and executed in current and recent conflicts worldwide, identifying emerging practices, innovative employment methods, and lessons learned that doctrine has not yet captured.
Translates these real-world observations into training scenarios, academic instruction, and practical exercises that prepare MSOCs to operate effectively in ambiguous environments where doctrinal guidance is absent, incomplete, or insufficient.
Serves as MARSOC G7's primary coordination point with external SOCOM components and conventional force partners for joint fires integration into MARSOC training events.
Coordinates with other USSOCOM component commands and conventional units such as Multi-Domain Task Forces (MDTFs) to synchronize participation in and contributions to the RAVEN exercise and other collective training events.
Works with external partners to identify and incorporate fires-specific academic instruction, ensuring training audiences receive operationally relevant academic support from joint and conventional fires communities.
Manages external relationships throughout the training planning cycle, from initial coordination through exercise execution and after-action review, to maximize the joint fires learning value of each event.
Proactively identifies and pursues additional training opportunities that expand MSOC access to targeting and joint fires experience beyond scheduled MARSOC collective training events.
Researches joint, interagency, and service-component exercises, training programs, and events where MSOCs can participate and build proficiency in fires planning, targeting processes, and lethal effects employment.
Coordinates with MARSOC G7 leadership and external partners to facilitate MSOC inclusion in these opportunities, managing deconfliction with existing training schedules and ensuring each opportunity aligns with MARSOC training objectives and readiness requirements.
Ensures MSOC training events are designed to develop proficiency in executing joint fires in support of a conventional Joint Task Force (JTF), reflecting the operational reality that MSOCs will increasingly operate as an integrated component of larger joint force formations.
Develops training scenarios that incorporate target development and Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) activities, building MSOC proficiency in the full targeting cycle from intelligence preparation through effects employment and assessment.
Designs training that leverages MSOC organic robotics and autonomous systems for both ISR and the delivery of lethal and non-lethal effects, ensuring units are proficient in integrating these emerging capabilities into fires planning, target development, and effects coordination within a conventional JTF framework.
Stays current on developments in autonomous systems, small unmanned systems, and related technologies to ensure training scenarios reflect the evolving character of the joint fires environment.
Conducts after-action reviews, identifies training gaps, and provides recommendations to MARSOC G7 leadership to continuously improve collective training programs.
