Position Summary:
DT Global is actively seeking a Strategic and Long-Range Planner to support a USMC program. The position involves research, analysis, and the development of recommendations and reports regarding capabilities of the operational unit with the demands of theater and global campaign plans as published by Marine Components and current National Military Strategic guidance.
Required Tasks:
- Conduct vulnerability analysis of aligned areas of operations and develop reports, recommended actions, and/or input to Operational Plans (OPLANs). Ensure analysis and recommended actions describe reconciliation of capabilities with the demands of theater and global campaign plans as published by Marine Components and current National Military Strategic guidance. Prepare these documents to be of sufficient caliber, as determined by the G-3 staff, to facilitate executive-level decision making through the four-star level. These documents shall include Red Team and Alternative Analysis methodologies which support Commanding General (CG) decision making by providing alternative Courses of Action (COAs) and perspectives, and by identifying overlooked opportunities and proposing alternatives to mitigate risk and associated fiscal requirements. This analytical support to senior executives will prepare them for Service senior executive decision-making bodies such as the Ground Board, Executive Off-Site, and General Officer Summit. Conduct analysis and develop recommendations regarding future plans methodologies and processes to enhance plans product quality for G3. Develop and deliver tailored training to Current Operations Future Operations/Plans, and Training to provide them with key critical thinking and operational analysis skills to enhance their ability to inform the commander with operational planning products.
- Conduct analysis and develop recommended conventional force survivability- and lethality-enhancing concepts, capabilities, technologies, and solutions. Analyze strategic and long-range plans and operational concepts regarding employment and develop analysis and reports to improve plans, concepts, and fiscal assessment for an overall Division Development Program. Provide recommendations regarding effectively balancing operational requirements against available and limited resources by analyzing the impact of budget, material readiness, and manpower availability against necessary training to enhance survivability and complete all Mission Essential Tasks (METs). This analysis will increase efficiency of training and employment, thereby maximizing survivability of forces once deployed. Identify emerging Science and Technology innovations and any survivability technology infusion issues while analyzing the increase in functional capabilities to the military end-user provided by the underlying technology. Provide analysis of the integration of existing and future Live-Virtual-Constructive Training Environment (LVC-TE) initiatives. These initiatives can enhance and augment live training as well as provide efficient means to maintain readiness and survivability in a fiscally austere environment.
- Conduct functional analyses and develop products that mitigate vulnerabilities. Products shall include reports that detail prototype technologies recommendations regarding the execution of operational planning, effectiveness, and readiness, which align to Theater campaign plans and joint exercises, various contingency plans, Operational Plans, Marine Corps Force Management Plan, and II MEF Annual Training Guidance and the Campaign Plan. Develop these products according to Marine Corps Planning Process Doctrine; events and milestones shall be captured in Training and Exercise Employment Plans (TEEP), which are best positioned for sustained warfighting readiness, enhanced survivability, and improved mission accomplishment and also published in a quarterly Fragmentary Order.
- Conduct analysis and develop recommendations regarding aligning efforts to Man, Train, and Equip its forces according to Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) and Higher Headquarters (HHQ) requirements balanced against current capabilities and readiness of the units sourced against these requirements. Develop survivability and vulnerability-based recommendations to conventional force feasibility which provide decision-makers with responsive and accurate insight into key readiness elements such as personnel, supply, readiness, and training. These recommendations, which support rapid deployment, are critical to combat effectiveness and will ultimately minimize the Operating Forces (OPFOR) mission.
- Other duties as assigned.
Required Experience and Skills:
- At least two years of experience working on a General Officer level staff (U. S. military) specifically in either the current, or future operations section;
- Training in curriculum development and instructional methods is required;
- Education from, or experience at, a career (O-4) level military school (U. S. military), or higher, is preferred.
