• Assist with supply inventories and recommend optimal equipment and supplies.

• Advise on the layout of the human performance facility and help develop facility standard operating procedures, guidelines, and exercise protocols.

• Support occasional surge operations and, when authorized, CONUS travel in support of exercises, TDYs, and mission-related meetings.

Who You Are

• A coach who thrives working with elite and tactical athletes and understands how physical readiness drives mission success.

• Analytical and detail-oriented, comfortable turning testing data into clear recommendations for commanders.

• A strong communicator who builds trust with operators and collaborates easily with medical, psychology, and command staff.
