Within assigned regions, the RoL-TC is responsible for providing administrative, logistical, and technical support for multiple training programs in multiple foreign nation locations occurring in current and future quarters of each fiscal year. Tasks include communication with U.S. embassies, DIILS staff, adjunct instructors, and non-DIILS training instructors to ensure training events are scheduled, executed, and reported on in a timely manner.

The ROL-TC assists the DIILS International Operations Officer(s) for the assigned regions with program tracking, scheduling, logistics, and reporting. Logistics support includes development of program cost estimates, preparation and delivery of printed or digital materials, working with DIILS staff to arrange team member lodging and transportation, working with U.S. embassy personnel to obtain student rosters, updating and obtaining translation of curriculum materials, populating DIILS shared drive folders with electronic versions of curriculum materials, preparing paperwork in support of printing orders, and making other CONUS-based or in-country logistical arrangements.

Regular follow-up communications are required to ensure plans are executed appropriately.
