This is what the work of the role holds.

The soldier manages the operations room in routine times and in emergencies, taking in reports and passing them in real time to the relevant parties. The soldier also coordinates the activities and events of the unit and its sector.

The soldier builds a picture of the situation and links military and civilian bodies, such as emergency organizations, during fires, rocket and missile fire and war. Situation assessments and decisions are made on the basis of this picture.

Operations sergeants staff the operations rooms of the districts and the national command operations room. Other placements are alert operator at the national alert center in the south, in charge of running the sirens across Israel, or instructor on the command and control system used to manage the civilian home front in emergencies.

This is how the training for the role runs.

Training opens with 3 weeks of Rifleman 02 basic training at the Home Front Command school at Rehavam base in Ramla. It continues with an operations course of about a month on handling events, reporting procedures, building a situation picture and running an operations room.
