• Resource Development: Create practical, tactical fueling assets - such as fact sheets, meal-planning guides, and Go For Green materials - optimized for Battle Assemblies (BA) and field-training operations.
• The Other 28 Days: Design actionable performance nutrition sustainment strategies that remote Army Reserve Soldiers can easily execute in the periods between scheduled training cycles.
• Interdisciplinary Integration: Partner with physical therapists, athletic trainers, strength coaches, and cognitive specialists to harmonize nutrition with injury recovery, sleep optimization, and physical performance.
• Unit Mentorship: Train and mentor military unit H2F Integration Teams (HIT) to ensure foundational performance nutrition education cascades down to the lowest echelon leaders.
• Military Alignment: Maintain deep, working alignment with Army regulations and physical readiness doctrine, including FM 7-22 (Holistic Health and Fitness), the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), and AR 600-9.

• Certification & Licensure: Active credential as a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) via the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). Must possess a current, valid, and unrestricted state license where applicable.
• Experience: A minimum of 3 years of relevant post-graduate experience within the last 4 years. Experience must demonstrate a clear focus on performance nutrition for tactical populations (military, law enforcement), collegiate athletes, or elite/high-performing sports teams.
• Security & Clearances: Must be a U.S. citizen. Must successfully complete Defense Health Agency (DHA) credentialing and primary-source verification, alongside obtaining a Tier 1 National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) / Confidential security clearance.
