Military Specific
Assigning tasks, checking operational procedures and standards, and evaluating how the team performs make up the core of the job. Training and mentoring on tactical operations is expected, and so is doing the specialist work when required. Coordinating with other departments is part of keeping operations aligned, rather than staying only with one crew. It suits people who like organizing work across teams, applying written procedures, and staying current enough in the tactics to step in themselves.
