Professional Solutions1, LLC (Pro Sol) is seeking a highly qualified Counter-SIGMAN Instructor / Subject Matter Expert (SME) to provide specialized tactical classroom instruction to Marines assigned to 2d Reconnaissance Battalion at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

The instructor will support a three-day Counter Signature Management (SIGMAN) training course consisting of 24 hours of instruction for up to 40 Marines.

Training will focus on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating multi-spectral signatures that can expose reconnaissance forces to detection by modern peer and near-peer adversary sensor systems. Instruction will include multi-spectral signature auditing, counter-UAS signature management, ground-sensor detection and mitigation, and integration of signature-management techniques into amphibious and ground Reconnaissance and Surveillance (R&S) operations.

The successful candidate must possess recent experience instructing military tactical units and a strong operational or technical background in SOF, reconnaissance, Electronic Warfare, SIGMAN, counter-UAS, cybersecurity/information operations, UAS operations, or related disciplines.

The Counter-SIGMAN Instructor / SME will:

• Answer advanced technical and tactical student questions.
• Facilitate student discussions, tactical planning exercises, and case-study analysis.
• Evaluate student understanding and mission-planning performance.
• Assist in identifying recurring signature vulnerabilities and recommending mitigation techniques.
• Support development and refinement of course presentations, student handouts, reference guides, and instructional materials.

Provide instruction concerning how adversaries employ multi-spectral detection systems and how reconnaissance teams can assess and reduce vulnerabilities across multiple signature domains.

Topics include:

• Audio and acoustic signatures
• Tactical movement and equipment noise
• Electro-optical and visual signatures
• Camouflage and concealment considerations
• Infrared and thermal signatures
• Near-Infrared detection
• Thermal footprint reduction
• Electromagnetic and RF signatures
• Wireless signals
• Appropriate tactical waveform employment
• Digital footprints
• Device-pairing emissions
• Personal and tactical electronic-device signatures

Provide instruction on:

• Type 1 and Type 2 UAS capabilities
• UAS sensor capabilities
• Detection thresholds
• Thermal-signature mitigation

Provide instruction concerning:

• Seismic sensors
• Acoustic sensors
• Infrared sensors
• Magnetic sensors
• Active sensor systems
• Passive sensor systems
• Recognition of possible sensor arrays
• Sensor detection and bypass considerations

Assist students in integrating:

• Multi-spectral SIGMAN
• Threat analysis

into the planning and execution of amphibious and ground R&S missions.

Facilitate:

• Tactical mission-planning exercises
• Student-led planning
• Instructor-led reviews
• Tactical discussions

The instructor will assist the Lead Instructor and Pro Sol program management with required course products, including:

• Daily summaries of student progress
• Key learning outcomes
• Instructional highlights

• Student mission-planning assessments
• Identification of systemic signature vulnerabilities
• Tactical training recommendations
• Final After-Action Report input

Daily course summaries are required for delivery to the 2d Reconnaissance Battalion Training Cell by 0800 the following morning.

The final comprehensive AAR must be completed within five business days after course completion.

Candidates must possess:

• A minimum of three years of experience within the previous five years instructing military tactical units in one or more of the following:
  • Multi-spectral SIGMAN
  • Electronic signature analysis
  • Cyber footprint auditing
• Instructional experience supporting:
