Job Description:

The JTAC Instructor is responsible for delivering full-spectrum Joint Terminal Attack Control instruction and operational mission support in support of AFSOC and associated geographically separated units.

The position also includes mission-related responsibilities tied to malfunction, accident, and incident response, training documentation, and advice and assistance to unit JTAC Program Managers and JTAC Evaluator Program Managers. This role requires a professional who can operate credibly inside an AFSOC training environment, maintain currency, integrate with military leadership, and perform safely and effectively under dynamic operational conditions.

The successful candidate will be expected to complete all required in-processing and assumption-of-duty requirements within the contract timelines, including establishing an SRMS account, uploading prior JTAC documentation and logged controls, completing required anti-terrorism training, and beginning requalification within the required window when applicable.
