rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Generalist

Review AI-generated ground combat scenarios for tactical realism, sound operational reasoning, and accurate weapons employment. This remote contractor role is for current or former Army professionals with firsthand combat operations and combat-arms experience.

The work

You would evaluate AI-generated material involving ground combat, tactical planning, targeting, weapons employment, and battlefield decision-making. Day-to-day tasks include identifying operational inaccuracies, checking scenarios against Rules of Engagement (ROE) and the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC), and writing structured feedback that explains both the error and a more credible approach.

What screening is likely to examine

Expect questions about your Army background, combat-arms specialty, firsthand operational experience, and role in tactical operations, mission planning, or weapons employment. The screen may test whether you can distinguish a factual mistake from a questionable tactical judgment, account for mission variables and incomplete information, and explain corrections without disclosing classified or operationally sensitive information. Combat deployments, Ranger qualifications, weapons specialization, and tactical instructor experience are highly desirable, but the listing does not state that they are mandatory.

Practical details

This is a remote contractor role. The listing does not state whether work is asynchronous or specify typical hours, minimum weekly availability, contract duration, or scheduling requirements, so candidates should be ready to give a realistic availability range and ask how assignments are distributed.

Included with this listing

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This verifies that your background is Army-based, combat-arms relevant, and grounded in duties you personally performed rather than general familiarity with military operations.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology with specialty, unit type, level of responsibility, operational setting, and tasks personally performed. Keep examples unclassified and distinguish direct experience from observation or classroom knowledge.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose credibility by naming units or operations without explaining their own function, decision authority, or connection to tactical operations.
