PTOC Log Analyst

Duties. Operate, provide instruction, and maintain various simulation models with respect to logistics operations. Translate real world or fictional enemy and friendly force structures into an exercise simulation database. Study classified material and sanitize to a lesser classification level for entry into a model, simulation or report. Provide analysis of a functional area (e.g. combat service support) and identify strengths and weaknesses as they occur during a simulation-supported event. Research documents and extracts or factual data for composition of military forces for a model/simulation. Edit doctrinal manuscripts, analyzes problem areas, and postulate feasible solutions for simulation and training events. Participate in and conducts reviews and structured walk-through of simulation events and training, operation orders and plans, and information gathering requirements. Provide analysis during exercises and attends conferences and meetings at both the resident site and other locations off-site. Assists in reviewing classified material and recommends a lesser classification for use in events, models simulations, demonstrations, reports, and/or briefings. As new simulation models or upgrades to current simulation models are introduced, the M&S section is required to train; operate, maintain the functional areas of the new model or upgrade. Provide analysis of emergent simulation technologies against stated requirements. This includes drafting test plans, conducting tests, publishing test results, and maintaining and archiving of simulation based training scenarios including organizational databases, tactics, weapon system capabilities, doctrine, and force structures for use in preparation of strategic or tactical exercises. Document the salient properties of the system(s) being evaluated and their relevance to Marine Corps or Joint training. Translate operations orders into simulation databases. Conduct pre-event tests and evaluation of supporting databases, and parametric data. Conduct post-event critique and analysis employing various after action review systems.

Civilian Education. Bachelor's degree desired; equivalent military experience may be substituted.

Military Operational Experience. Minimum Three years operational experience in Logistics operations as it pertains to computer assisted exercises. Minimum five years demonstrated knowledge of military doctrine, tactics, and command relationships at MAGTF or joint/combined command level as measured by actual operational force employment experience. Minimum three years experience conducting exercises or analysis efforts. Direct participation in real world operation is desired.

Modeling and Simulation Experience. Minimum three years experience in DOD modeling and simulation, and have previous experience with MTWS, and other simulation models such as VBS, JSAF, ACE-IOS WARSIM, AWSIM or JDLM
