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

The Lead Instructor will support a three-day, 24-hour Counter Signature Management (SIGMAN) training course designed to prepare reconnaissance Marines to identify, assess, and mitigate physical, electromagnetic, thermal, visual, acoustic, and digital signature vulnerabilities during amphibious and ground Reconnaissance and Surveillance (R&S) operations.

The ideal candidate will possess significant operational experience within Special Operations Forces (SOF) or military reconnaissance organizations, recent experience instructing tactical military units, and demonstrated expertise in multi-spectral signature management, Electronic Warfare (EW), counter-UAS operations, electronic signature analysis, cyber/digital footprints, or related disciplines.

This is an academic, classroom-based training requirement. The course does not include field maneuvers, live-fly UAS operations, tactical vehicle operations, or role-player support.

The Lead Counter-SIGMAN Instructor will:

• Serve as the senior instructor and primary instructional lead for the Counter-SIGMAN course.
• Deliver classroom instruction to a class of up to 40 Marines.
• Work alongside a second qualified SME instructor throughout all three days of training.
• Lead development, integration, and quality review of course materials, presentations, student handouts, case studies, reference guides, and mission-planning exercises.
• Ensure course content is aligned with applicable reconnaissance training objectives and the operational requirements of 2d Reconnaissance Battalion.
• Provide expert instruction on how peer and near-peer adversaries use multi-spectral sensors to detect, track, and target low-signature military forces.

Provide instruction addressing:

• Audio and acoustic signatures
• Tactical movement noise
• Voice ranges and equipment-generated noise
• Electro-optical and visual signatures
• Movement detection thresholds
• Infrared and thermal signatures
• Near-Infrared considerations
• Thermal footprint management
• Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency signatures
• Tactical RF emissions
• Tactical waveform employment
• Electronic intercept risks
• Digital footprints and “cyber dust”
• Personal and tactical electronic-device emissions

• Type 1 and Type 2 UAS threat capabilities
• Sensor detection thresholds
• Multi-spectral signature mitigation against airborne sensors

Provide instruction concerning the characteristics, detection capabilities, and mitigation of:

• Seismic sensors
• Acoustic sensors
• Infrared sensors
• Magnetic sensors
• Passive sensor systems
• Active sensor systems

Teach reconnaissance personnel how to identify, bypass, and mitigate physical and acoustic signatures associated with ground-sensor arrays.

• Integrate SIGMAN principles into amphibious and ground R&S mission planning and execution.
• Facilitate student-led tactical mission-planning exercises.
• Conduct threat-informed case-study signature audits.
• Evaluate student planning and decision-making.
• Provide tactical feedback based on identified signature vulnerabilities.
• Reinforce practical integration of SIGMAN, counter-UAS, and ground-sensor mitigation techniques throughout the R&S…
