We are seeking a staff member with strong Adversary Maritime Operations and wargaming knowledge as well as analytical and interpersonal skills to join the OPFOR team - the JWC's focal point for developing realistic adversarial effects that challenge and prepare NATO forces for modern warfare.
If you bring experience in wargaming and adversary maritime operations, a desire to challenge established thinking, the ability to draft detailed schemes of manoeuvres, doctrine knowledge of adversaries and thrive in a dynamic, multinational environment, we encourage you to apply!
This position will have a focus on Adversary Maritime Operations and thus help create and question existing and new effects in that space.
In this role, you will play an important part in shaping how NATO plays the adversary in exercises working collaboratively with NATO experts to design realistic adversarial campaigns which challenge standing NATO responses during JWC's collective training and exercises. Your contribution will support JWC's mission to plan, prepare and deliver joint operational-level training, strengthening NATO's warfighting readiness and operational effectiveness against increasingly sophisticated threats.
