Role Title: Ground Combat & Special Operations SME
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
micro1 is engaging Ground Combat & Special Operations SMEs to contribute to a customer's project focused on advanced military-activity evaluation. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.
Scope of Work
Author and classify challenging and realistic case studies across operational decision support, destructive execution, and unlawful planning, based on ground-combat and special-operations scenarios.
Apply tactical ground-maneuver and direct-action expertise to ambiguous or complex cases, ensuring fidelity to real-world SOF and ground-mission planning and execution.
Evaluate AI model responses for source management, uncertainty handling, reasoning quality, limitations, and tactical or targeting utility in operational contexts.
Identify and flag instances where the AI model over-refuses legitimate conceptual, doctrinal, or readiness-related questions.
Validate that all scenarios and edge cases accurately reflect how ground and SOF missions are truly conducted, not just stylized or cinematic versions.
Document edge cases thoroughly, providing rationale to keep the evaluation process rigorous and defensible.
Preferred qualifications
Hands-on experience leading in ground-combat (infantry, armor, reconnaissance) or special-operations units (SOF/SF, raiders, or equivalent allied forces).
Proven decision-making responsibility in the planning and execution of ground maneuver, direct action, or close combat operations.
Deep understanding of the lawful/unlawful and permitted/prohibited boundaries in tactical military operations.
Demonstrated ability to instruct, mentor, or conduct formal after-action reviews, debriefs, or training at the team/platoon/company level.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex tactical concepts.
SOF selection/qualification (SFQC, SEAL/SWCC, allied equivalents), Ranger/equivalent tabs, or advanced NCO/command time.
Experience in joint/combined, interagency, AI evaluation, wargaming, or red-team operations is a plus.
