Company Description
Position Description
Title of Position Required: Project Director - Responsible for developing the Program of Instruction and for organizing and implementing all administrative support requirements and management of the SLC personnel.
Senior Leader Course: A course for training and developing Palestinian senior leaders within the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF) who have been identified to assume senior positions of responsibility as part of the on-going effort to reach the end state described in The Palestinian Security Plan to support a two-state solution.
Management Responsibilities:
• Reports to Course Commandant and to INL.
• Develop and orchestrate the Program of Instruction and course curriculum to include lesson plans.
• Coordinates closely with USSC for the Program of Instruction to ensure that the training supports USSC plans for Security Sector Reform. USSC and INL have final review of the POI.
• Manage the SLC budget.
• Manage personnel (both international, local hire, and Palestinian students).
• Supervise the Palestinian Office Manager.
• Coordinate with INL and United States Security Coordinator Plans Officer.
Course Description -
Course Aim: To prepare selected senior Palestinian officers for higher command and staff appointments, by addressing the strategic and operational security issues critical to the Palestinian State.
Course End-State: The professional development of senior officers, confident of providing the leadership and direction required to ensure effective security through upholding the rule of law. The course will develop an officer’s ability to analyse complex issues of a joint and integrated nature in order to discharge command effectively and make sound, timely decisions at the military-strategic and operational levels of operations.
The Training: The course of study will cover strategic, operational and tactical topics ranging from understanding the Roadmap, policing at the national level, criminal investigations, Palestinian judiciary system, Planning at the operational level, joint operations, decision making, command, threat analysis, disaster relief operations, and tactical skills for employing PASF on the streets. The course will be delivered as a series of modules, or stages, that can, if necessary, be delivered in framework form and then supplemented later by additional study days/lectures. This course is designed to cover the entire range of security issues that will enable the graduates of this course to serve as commanders and staff officers at the tactical level (battalion), operational level, and strategic level.
Justification: Developing Palestinian senior leaders is one of the critical functions of the seven-part methodology for building Palestinian security
capabilities: Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leader Development, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF). This training is designed to support the Palestinian Ministry of the Interior (MOI) in their mission of law and order.
The TPSP, and its future modifications as it is refined, will deliver trained leaders ready to deliver law and order in a Security Reform context.
Concept: It is estimated that the total training requirement is approximately 75 students per year from PASF, including NSF, Civil Police, PSO and PG. (A breakdown by service is at Annex B) Each Course will have the capacity to take 24, or possibly 36, students. Teaching methodology uses Small-Group (SG) instruction with approximately 12 students in each SG, mentored by one Small Group Leader (SGL) and an assistant SGL, perhaps a Palestinian with good english language skills. Depending upon the number of SGLs recruited the course could be run with either 2 or 3 SGs, giving options of 3 times course of 24 students, or
2 times courses of 36. Instruction, by module, will focus on a series of central lectures, supported by some pre-reading and followed by directed discussion in SGs. Confirmation of instruction is achieved by paper, or ‘table top’, exercises and student presentations in SGs and as a course. Mentoring and instruction will be provided by the SGL and other instructors. Instruction will be provided mainly in English and translated into Arabic. The course duration is two months
(8 weeks of total training with 280 hours of classroom time, plus preparation in private time).
The rank of students is lieutenant colonel, colonel and brigadier. The Program of Instruction (POI) will be developed by the Course Commandant, Project Director and SGLs prior to beginning the training. The POI will be coordinated and refined with the MOI and the Strategic Planning Department within the MOI.
The POI will not be an esoteric amalgamation of security principles, but will focus on specific Palestinian requirements and challenges. The intent of the POI is to graduate students who are ready to immediately lead their units and staffs to deliver law and order within a context of Security Sector Reform.
Instructors are a combination of Palestinian guest speakers, contracted international trainers, and trainers seconded or sent as guest speakers for seminars for short periods of time from stakeholder organizations or countries.
International trainers or guest speakers could be solicited from such organizations as the U.S. Army War College, other U.S. Senior Service Colleges; the British Cranfield University and its Department of Defense Management and Security Analysis; and other international security institutions such as NESA Center.
Required Skills
Experience: A retired U.S. Army officer with experience in Training Development and experience at a Senior Service College , such as the US Army War College.
Experience with Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) is also an asset.
Qualifications: An MA/Advanced Degree in National Security/Strategic Studies.
Subject to suitability review by INL.
Skills:
• Project Management.
• Excellent Management skills.
• Training Development.
• Willingness to work in a multicultural environment.
• Middle East Experience preferable.
• Excellent instructor and training skills.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Familiar with DOTMLPF.
The pay sent out initially – at just over $225K – was based on a 12 month assignment. They are only looking to bring this person on board for 3 to 4 months at this point. They will then be based in either Jordan or Palestine.
They do want someone flexible enough to deploy by 1 June. Total Compensation thus for 90 days would be about $65K, and for 120 days would be about $87K. At this point, again, they are only looking to fill this slot for the 90 to 120 days.
The plus side is that it will be based out of Jordan or the West Bank. That is to be determined, but certainly not the threat level of Afghanistan or Iraq.
