It reminds me of the joke - should the unit reps be frank and earnest? Or should one of them be a woman? (Say it aloud)
I would be pleasantly surprised if each Branch could send a female rep.

And what is a customer experience representative?

At a guess someone who rep’s the customer services staff.

I remember being at a national briefing and it looked like the scene from 'I Robot' where all the robots were lined up..... that's if all the robots had been fat, white, over 50 and male.

It was a frightening experience probably similar to a Trump rally but very slightly more left wing.
