Overview
micro1 is building an AI system that needs to understand ground combat, and they want current or former Army personnel to check its work. You will read AI-generated battlefield scenarios and judge whether the tactics, weapons employment, and targeting make sense. The job also calls for checking each scenario against Rules of Engagement (ROE) and the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC). Your written feedback goes directly to the AI team to improve reasoning and reliability.
What You'll Do6
- Read AI-generated scenarios covering ground combat, tactical planning, and military operations.
- Judge how realistic each scenario is, including weapons employment, targeting choices, and battlefield decisions.
- Check scenarios for accuracy, sound reasoning, and compliance with ROE and LOAC.
- Flag operational errors and explain them in clear, structured written feedback.
- Compare AI output against real Army tactics and operational procedures.
- Provide expert notes that help the AI team correct mistakes and improve future responses.
Requirements6
- Current or former Army professional with experience in infantry, artillery, armor, combat engineering, Army aviation, or another combat-arms specialty.
- Hands-on background in tactical operations, mission planning, or weapons employment.
- Solid grasp of Army tactics, operational procedures, and combat decision-making.
- Ability to explain complex military concepts in writing so non-experts can follow.
- Combat deployments, Ranger qualifications, weapons specialization, or tactical instructor experience are highly desirable.
- Attention to detail when reviewing scenarios for factual and logical errors.
Who Should Apply
The role suits a current or former Army combat-arms professional who has planned missions or employed weapons in real operations and can write clear, structured feedback. Candidates with combat deployments, Ranger tabs, or instructor time will stand out.
Salary Insight
The rate is $40 to $80 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications. No other compensation details are listed.
Application tip
In your application, name the specific combat-arms specialty and any deployments, Ranger qualification, weapons system, or instructor role you held. Then give one short example of a tactical decision you evaluated or corrected, and note how you applied ROE or LOAC in that case.
