MCTP PTOC Intelligence Scenario Writer

CGS is looking for an Intelligence Scenario Writer to support the US Army's Mission Command Training Program (MCTP) at Fort Leavenworth, KS.

The Intelligence Scenario Writer designs and delivers realistic, doctrinally correct intelligence products and scripted intelligence feeds that replicate real-world sources for Division- and Corps-level Warfighter Exercises (WFX). The writer will translate operational requirements into timely, believable IMINT/ELINT/COMINT/SIGINT/MASINT/HUMINT reporting and coordinate with internal and external organizations to ensure fidelity with the exercise Operational Environment (OE). This role directly enables training audiences and OC/Ts to train to realistic intelligence production, fusion, and decision cycles during large-scale, multidomain operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide intelligence scripting and content development to replicate external real-world intelligence feeds for training audiences, to include but not limited to:
  
  
  
  • Imagery Intelligence (IMINT)
  
  
  • Electronic Intelligence (ELINT)
  
  
  • Communications Intelligence (COMINT)
  
  
  • Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)
  
  
  • Measurement & Signature Intelligence (MASINT)
  
  
  • Human Intelligence (HUMINT)
  
  
  
  


• Coordinate with appropriate military and civilian intelligence agencies, subject-matter experts, and MCTP staff to validate that scripted intelligence reflects the intended training environment, operational timelines, and classification constraints.


• Produce intelligence products and reports in doctrinally correct formats (e.g., IIR, TACREP, INTSUM, TIR, assessments, and others) that are suitable for transmission and ingestion by training-audience C4I systems.


• Collaborate with supported units and OC/Ts to identify the volumes, types, and cadence of message traffic, reporting, and intelligence products that best support exercise scenarios and training objectives.


• Develop pre-planned and on-demand intelligence products prior to and during WFX to support depiction of Irregular and Criminal Networks across competitive and non-competitive (wrap-around) areas of operation.


• Work with the opposing force (OPFOR) and Supreme High Command (SHC) to craft dynamic reports (TACREPs, IIRs, etc.) that portray a requested tactical picture or enable OPFOR operations as directed by OC/Ts and storylines.


• Ensure all intelligence storylines, products, and injects are synchronized with the Master Scenario Event List (MSEL), Exercise Life Cycle (ELC) events, and other scenario control mechanisms.


• Support real-time adjustments to intelligence reporting during exercise execution to preserve training realism and meet emergent training requirements.


• Maintain rigorous handling and dissemination controls consistent with applicable classification and security guidelines when creating or distributing simulated and real-source content.

Minimum Requirements:

• Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office Word and PowerPoint software.


• Familiar with current Army and Joint doctrine.


• BS/BA degree with 5 years of military experience, or High School and 10 years of military experience.


• Active DOD Secret clearance is required. 

Preferred Experience and Qualifications:

• Demonstrated knowledge and hands-on experience with IMINT / ELINT / COMINT / SIGINT / MASINT / HUMINT reporting, intelligence reporting formats (IIR, TACREP, INTSUM, TIR, etc.), and intelligence dissemination processes.


• Experience authoring intelligence products intended for consumption by Command Post / C4I systems and staff (understanding of common formats and transmission considerations).


• Prior experience supporting large-scale collective training (WFX, JEFX, MCTP, combat training centers, or equivalent).


• Strong writing, editing, and doctrinal rigor; ability to produce clear, concise, and technically accurate intelligence reports under time pressure.


• Experience developing or managing Master Scenario Event Lists (MSELs) and exercise injects.


• Excellent interpersonal skills and proven ability to coordinate with multiple stakeholders, including military staffs, OC/Ts, external agencies, and SMEs.
