• Provide tailored training to DSS Special Agents, Regional Security Officers, Mobile Security Deployment teams, USMC Guard forces, and other partner entities on C-UAS mission fundamentals, fixed site capabilities, and tactical capabilities for static or mobile security operations.
• Coordinate with vendor training teams to optimize delivery and supplement vendor‑provided instruction with operationally relevant, program‑specific content.
• Provide remote troubleshooting, guidance, and training support to deployed personnel as needed.
• Support special events including recruiting events, trade shows, and demonstrations by ensuring personnel are trained and current on equipment setup, function, and technology explanation.
