Essential Functions and Job Responsibilities:

The Athletic Trainer will be assigned specifically to designated units at the brigrade (BDE), battalion (BN), or company (CO) level. The Athletic Trainer's services may be provided in the following locations: fitness centers/gyms, BDE/BN/CO or administrative areas, outdoors, ranges, field training environments, and at the Soldier Performance Readiness Center (SPRC). The work includes providing forward musculoskeletal (MSK) care, early medical intervention, injury prevention (IP) and performance optimization services. Any medical treatment provided by the Athletic Trainer is subject to the supervision of a privileged government healthcare provider. The location for the performance of duty is under the control and direction of the resourced unit BDE Commander in coordination with the Installation Assistant Contracting Officer Representative (ACOR).

The primary focus of this position is to optimize individual and unit physical readiness and ability to perform warrior tasks and battle drills required for the BDE's mission. The physical readiness is defined as availability for deployment and task-specific performance. The Athletic Trainer will work as part of the Holistic Health and Fitness Performance Team to develop a comprehensive, periodized education and services program integrated and synchronized with the battalion (BN) training calendar. Success is determined by the ability of the BDE to perform its combat mission.

The Holistic Health and Fitness concept is vastly different from a clinical setting. The Athletic Trainer will be embedded at the BDE level. Most work will be performed in a military training environment (i.e., fitness centers/gyms, BDE/BN/CO or administrative areas, outdoors, ranges, field training environments, and at the SPRC). The Athletic Trainer shall not be deployed outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS) or to support long duration training events in remote locations such as the National Training Center (NTC)/Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC). The Athletic Trainer will be required to observe BDE and below (i.e., BN, CO, platoon, squad, team) specific training events (e.g., shooting range, obstacle courses, combative training areas). The Athletic Trainer must be physically able to hike austere environments and terrain (i.e., rocky, no running water, no shelter, no bathroom, no climate control, inclement weather, loud, smoky) while carrying their own backpack with necessary supplies on occasion (<20% of the time). Providing forward MSK care in the training environment, outside of the clinical setting, minimizes lost training time and ensures early identification of injuries. Well-trained, combat-ready Soldiers are best produced by allocating healthcare assets that facilitate the early identification and management of MSK injuries, prevention of injuries, and optimization of physical performance.
