MCTP JLCCTC INTEL SIM TECH, Jr

CGS is looking for an Intel Simulation Technician to support the US Army's Mission Command Training Program (MCTP) at Fort Leavenworth, KS.

Are you looking for an opportunity to combine your technical skills with big picture thinking to make an impact on national security? You understand your customer's environment and how to develop the right systems for their mission. Your ability to translate real-world needs into technical specifications makes you an integral part of delivering a customer focused engineering solution.

 

As a Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC) Intel Simulation Technician on our team at the Mission Command Training Program (MCTP), you'll enable large-scale, computer-based training for Army commanders and battle staff. You'll maintain and optimize the U.S. Army's constructive simulation toolkit-ensuring mission-rehearsal exercises on offensive, defensive, stability, and civil-support operations run flawlessly from battalion through echelons-above-corps. You will be embedded at MCTP in Fort Leavenworth, KS (with potential worldwide deployments), providing hands-on technical expertise for the JLCCTC Upper Enclave suite. Your role ensures that simulation platforms seamlessly integrate with real-world Mission Command systems and deliver realistic, dynamic training environments.

Key Responsibilities

• System Administration: Manage servers, workstations, virtual machines, networks, and simulation software (WARSIM) and the JLCCTC Cross Domain Solution Suite (JCDSS). Monitor system health, apply OS and firmware updates, and execute routine backups.
• Technical Support: Act as subject-matter expert for hardware, software, and basic networking troubleshooting. Respond to and resolve incidents to maintain uninterrupted training operations.
• Installation & Maintenance: Install, configure, and update simulation applications and peripheral devices. Perform preventive and corrective maintenance in line with DoD Information Assurance directives.
• Configuration Management: Maintain hardware and software baselines across distributed nodes and exercise networks. Document version control, change histories, and configuration checklists.
• Exercise Support: Deploy, test, and troubleshoot constructive simulations. Ensure interoperability with live Mission Command platforms so staff train on actual Army systems.
• Simulation Stimulation: Validate that JLCCTC outputs correctly stimulate Mission Command environments. Troubleshoot integration points with C2 hardware and software.
• Post-Exercise Analysis: Support After Action Review (AAR) tools by capturing, replaying, and exporting simulation data. Assist exercise directors in debriefs to highlight performance metrics and lessons learned.
• Collaboration & Continuous Improvement: Coordinate with exercise planners, instructional designers, and senior leaders to refine training scenarios. Propose enhancements to increase simulation fidelity, scalability, and ease of use.

Requirements:

• One (1) years of experience with Military training and training support
• One (1) years of experience in integrating training environments, planning architectures, and stimulation of Army Mission Command Information Systems (MCiS) in support of unit training events and distributed exercises
• One (1) years of experience in performing system enhancements and installing software updates
• Proficiency with JLCCTC applications (WARSIM) and WARSIM's intel model WIM or equivalent constructive simulation tools
• Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, switching, VLANs, VPNs) and secure LAN/WAN operations.
• Familiarity with DoD configuration and patch management processes (DISA STIGs, SCAP).
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and technical documentation skills.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills; ability to instruct non-technical military personnel.
• Active DOD Top Secret clearance is required.
