- Prepare and deliver high-level briefings to senior military leadership (O-6/GO-FO and NATO equivalents) on exercise readiness, execution statuses, and space mission integration outcomes.
- Coordinate space education and training in support of exercise academics for the component, joint force, and partner nations.

What you will need:
