EXCON staff members are drawn from several backgrounds and units including JWC staff, NATO component commands, Training Audience (TA) Headquarters, Partner Nations and other augmenters’ positions. EXCON has both direction and control functions which allow it to establish the conditions needed by the TA to achieve the exercise aim and objectives. EXCON size and structure is flexible and is shaped to the requirement of each phase of exercise delivery. When it is not possible to fill a position from military sources, the JWC has the option to source a contractor to fill a position. Not all contracted positions are required for each phase of each exercise</span>.</p> <hr> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Role Background</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Multimedia Technical Specialist directly supports the media simulation effort by producing TV news reports based on daily D&amp;G from Chief Media and direct coordination with an assigned TV role-player.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Role Duties and Responsibilities</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Execution (Block E):</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Prior to STARTEX, review exercise scenario documentation, the latest OPFOR plan and the JEMM database for familiarization of planned media storylines.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Record/capture and edit broadcast quality digital video/audio/still images using professional multimedia and lighting equipment and related hardware/software to produce TV news reports based on the media SOP and set deadlines.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Coordinate daily TV news production with assigned TV role-player to determine b- roll, graphics and script requirements, shooting locations, schedule, and other technical details.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Prepare sets as required in support of one-on-one interviews, stand-ups, and press conferences; conduct safe setup, operation, strike, and transport of multimedia equipment.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Process, format, and digitally deliver completed multimedia products for distribution to audiences across NATO using a variety of web, cloud, and network methods.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Coordinate all production style elements with JWC Lead Multimedia Tech to ensure access to required media drives and to confirm reports are in accordance with media SOP.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Create/post strategic social media posts and troll activity when required based on daily D&amp;G to support upcoming exercise play.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Essential Skills and Experience</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">5 years (in last 10 years) professional multimedia production experience using audio, video, lighting equipment, and related computer hardware/software.
