About the role

The qualified individual aligns with, and supports, assigned U.S. Special Operations Command Service Component Command / Geographic Combatant Command (SOCSCC/GCC) headquarters planning for surging and setting a theater of operations: reducing response time, conditions-setting for future operations, and planning shaping operations within a theater security cooperation plan. The position requires a solid understanding of service contracts within SOCPAC and DOD, how to determine appropriate level-of-effort as contractually defined, and the appropriate relationship between contractors and government representatives.

Responsibilities

• Produce three country or region books each year of the contract. This requirement is divided into sections consisting of general information, transportation and distribution infrastructure, engineering infrastructure, and potential local vendors.
• Based on capability and/or capacity gaps identified by the client, produce three concepts of support for deliberate and/or time-constrained planning efforts each year of the contract. These concepts include:
  • Detailed planning for theater opening
  • TPFDD analysis and integration
  • Coordination with relevant Special Operations Command, DOD, and Governmental agencies
  • Detailed RSOI planning
  • Theater distribution
  • Host Nation and Combined staff integration and coordination
  • Detailed health care planning
• Participation in three exercises each year of the contract. These may be in the form of SOCSCC/GCC virtual or live exercises, tabletop or staff focused. Participation may include MESL development, integration of exercise operational documentation, and provision of specifically relevant local information.
• When directed, provide project planning and scheduling, to include site assessments, technical risk assessments, analytical products, environmental impact assessments, and resource estimates.
• Limited travel, as directed in support of the above activities.
• Additional requirements as requested by the client and directed by the company headquarters.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Supply Chain Operations, Engineering, or Business. Relevant experience in a leadership or decision-making capacity may substitute for the degree.
• Current Top Secret clearance.
• At least 8+ years of experience in DoD/Service-level strategy, policy, planning, and operations.
• Must have and maintain a current passport.
• Previous military experience is desired but not required.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills as defined by U.S. Special Operations Command/Joint doctrine and regulation.
• Adept at building rapport down, laterally, and up within a military organization with a demonstrated ability to adjust communication style based on audience.

Experience

• Experience as a planner at the operational command level.
• Recent experience within the SOCSCC/GCC area of responsibility.
• No history that prevents continuing to hold a TS Clearance.
• Demonstrated experience in the assigned AOR is ideal.

Skills

• Superior written and verbal communication skills.
• Critical thinker capable of operating both independently and under distributed, virtual supervision.
• Capable of integrating multiple requirements while protecting the equities of multiple stakeholders.
• Proficiency in service component decision-making processes, with a thorough understanding of TPFDD dynamics.
• Ability to assist the SOCSCC in providing ILS2 technical and analytical expertise in the execution of exercises, operations, or contingencies to facilitate the integration of ILS2 capabilities into plans and operations.

Working Environment

• Normal operations expect 80% at the Special Operations Command Pacific (SOCPAC) HQ, Camp Smith, HI and 20% travel to subordinate commands and other locations as directed.
• During ILS2 task order/surge operations, expect up to 100% duty deployed in support of the governmental lead in a developed or undeveloped theater of operations executing ILS2 Planning duties for the SOCSCC/GCC.
• Normal office operations physical requirements.
• Must meet SOCSCC/GCC theater-specific medical standards and other associated deployment requirements.
