The courses target officers who, in their career progression, should be able to serve at levels ranging from company commander to staff officer in a brigade staff. They also target specialist officers who should be able to serve as functional representatives, staff members, or training coordinators at the battalion level.

About the Position

Your main tasks will be to conduct training for officers and specialist officers at courses organized by the Combat School (MSS), such as the Tactical Course Army (TaK A), Higher Specialist Officer Education (HSOU), and various professional and position courses (YKB) with the target group of officers and specialist officers in the Army's maneuver units. You will prepare orders, exercise plans, and lesson materials for the training. You will conduct training and training projects independently, with support from colleagues when necessary. You will support the section chief with decision-making materials regarding resource issues, as well as planning, implementation, and evaluation of training. Additionally, you will participate in project groups within MSS to contribute a training perspective to development work in various areas.
