Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) II Operations

Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) II Operations

Position Summary The EST O/Ms provide operations support at Camps Buehring & Arifjan. The system simulates weapon-training events that lead to live-fire individual/crew weapon-training events/activities. Additionally, it enables sustainment marksmanship training, static unit, collective gunnery and tactical training, and shoot/don't shoot scenarios. The simulator also supports marksmanship, squad/fire team collective, and judgmental use of force training. The CFFT I/O/Ms provide instructor/operations support on use of CFFT and scenario design/modifications. The CFFT provides realistic observed fire training in support of all indirect fire and close air support mission tasks. The device is lightweight and simulates battlefield environments for training Fire Support Specialists, Joint Fires Observers, and Soldiers. It trains all Artillery, type II and III close air support, naval gunfire, and mortar missions. Flat screens only; no panoramic viewing. What You’ll Do
