Vacancy: Unmanned Systems Control Section Operator
An order that does not arrive on time is as good as an order not carried out. At the battalion command post there is a person through whom this entire flow passes — and whether the system works depends on how meticulous they are.
The Unmanned Systems Control Section Operator receives, logs and processes official information at the battalion command post, passes orders on to those responsible for carrying them out and monitors their execution.
This is an enlisted position at HQ — a way into staff work without officer requirements.
Who can become an Unmanned Systems Control Section Operator
No experience is needed. The main thing is being able to work with a computer and keep information in order.
What really matters:
- Confident PC user
- Ability to assess the situation soberly and respond accordingly
- Stress resilience and the ability to work at a high pace
- Communication skills and the ability to work in a team
- Experience of duty shifts at operations posts is an advantage
How a section operator differs from an officer-operator: the operator receives, logs and passes on. The officer analyses, summarises and reports to command.

How you will be trained
The path is the same for everyone: 51 days of basic military training, then the brigade adaptation course — 14–15 days with instructors who have combat experience.
Next comes training for duty shifts at the command post: logging procedures, working with the systems and keeping shift documentation.
Tactical medicine is drilled until it becomes automatic. Our instructors' principle is short: the priority is to survive.
What you will be provided with
You will be fully kitted out: gear, protective equipment, a workstation and communications equipment.
You will not be alone. The duty shift works together, alongside the section's officers, who guide and train you on the job.
