8. NMSO Role in Navy M&S Education • NMSO sponsors an M&S degree program through the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Modeling Virtual Environments and Simulation (MOVES) curriculum • Completion of this curriculum results in an officer who can be assigned an M&S Subspecialty Code: • Navy: 6202 • USMC: 8825 • US Army: FA 57 • NMSO advocates annually to identify requirements for advanced M&S education in the Navy Subspecialty System • NMSO reviews billets, coding and NPS school quotas Unclassified – No Special Handling Required This Page

9. Shaping Navy M&S Education • Continue our advocacy for MOVES billets • Fleet M&S billets that are filled determine M&S quotas at NPS/MOVES • Placement Officers not filling Fleet M&S billets has been a problem • Need YOUR help identifying billets that need 6202 Subspecialty Codes assigned to them • Goal: Obtain senior leadership assistance to help fill M&S Subspecialty Codes/billets • Help get billets coded, as well Unclassified – No Special Handling Required This Page

10. Shaping Navy M&S Education (cont) • FEEDBACK! • Based on what you learned at MOVES and during your M&S-related tour: • What was useful? • What was not useful? • What else should be added to the curriculum to produce the kinds of M&S professionals needed by the Services? • What billets could benefit being filled by a MOVES graduate? • What billets do not benefit being filled by a MOVES graduate? • What sort of feedback system would be useful?

11. DoD M&S Catalog • The DoD M&S Catalog is a tool users can use to search for and evaluate information about M&S resources. • The tool performs analysis of the characteristics of the search result set. • The tool can load data from multiple file types as long as the format is known and specifies the metadata elements. • Coordination between source sites and the M&S Catalog ensure the metadata is only accessible to authorized users. • Contact Help Desk at MSCatalogHelp@osd.mil or 1-888-566-7672 https://mscatalog.osd.mil/ Unclassified – No Special Handling Required This Page
