• Eight years of combined federal (DoW or DoS) experience with at least three years of specialized operational experience in either wargaming, M&S, or some combination of the two.
• Proficient in the use of Microsoft (MS) Office Suite (i.e., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and other associated software utilized in personal computing, e.g., Adobe Acrobat.
