Ideally, you will have a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, such as 1-2 years in project coordination or a related field. 2-5 years of military experience is considered as a substitute for relevant professional experience. Success in this role requires strong organization, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once.
