About The Position

Tactical Revolution, LLC is seeking reliable, motivated individuals to serve as Standby Role Players in support of a military tactical training exercise. Standby Role Players fill unexpected staffing shortages, replace absent Role Players, and support changing exercise requirements. They may be activated at any time during their assigned standby period and, if activated, must be capable of performing the full duties and physical requirements of a Role Player.

Standby Role Players report to the designated exercise location at the required time and remain available throughout the assigned standby period. They maintain communication with Tactical Revolution leadership and exercise staff, follow scenario scripts and exercise instructions exactly, comply with safety procedures, and maintain professional conduct. They must complete required onboarding, exercise paperwork, and base-access requirements.

If activated, Role Player duties may include portraying Opposing Force (OPFOR) personnel in tactical training scenarios, including scenarios involving marking-cartridge weapons. Role Players must be able to stay on script, wear scenario-appropriate clothing and protective equipment, operate weapons systems after receiving safe-use instruction, and perform in austere environments and during hours of darkness. Scenarios may involve restraint, searches, extended standing or prone positions, and engagement with non-lethal marking ammunition while wearing required PPE.

Compensation is $50 per day for reporting as scheduled and remaining available during the assigned standby period. If activated, the rate is $20 per hour for Role Player duties, or the applicable Role Player hourly rate for time worked. The listed dates are December 7–10; no year is specified.
