About The Position

This position is centered on the operation and administration of the Combined Arms Collective Training Facility III (CFFT III), supporting a broad range of fire support training missions that prepare Soldiers to execute fires tasks with precision and confidence. As a CFFT III Simulation Operator, you will manage all aspects of system startup, configuration, and shutdown, developing and loading training scenarios using the Pre-Mission Planner System and ONESAF, selecting appropriate terrain databases, and establishing realistic environmental conditions to meet specific training objectives. During exercises, you will process a wide variety of fire mission types including Artillery and Naval Call-for-Fire, Close Air Support, Army Attack Aviation, Special Operations Forces gunship missions, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle missions, while dynamically managing targets, observation positions, and interoperable system configurations in real time. You will also be responsible for maintaining network integrity across local and wide area networks, integrating simulation systems, and administering VBS3 databases to support both standalone and distributed training events.
