Provide conference and meeting support, including facilitating meetings, preparing graphic study materials, securing conference rooms, issuing invitations, managing stakeholder involvement, community relations, and risk communication, as directed by government approval.
Deliver administrative support, such as documenting program files, processes, organizing records, and assisting with regulatory and partnering sessions to maintain compliance and efficiency in ICBM infrastructure programs.
Coordinate with Major Commands (MAJCOMs) and Headquarters Air Force (HAF) staff to develop guidance, tactics, techniques, and procedures that support critical infrastructure sustainment for Real Property (RP) and Real Property Installed Equipment (RPIE), ensuring standardized approaches that enhance operational availability and mission readiness.
Produce, coordinate, and execute recurring senior-level review panels with AFGSC leadership, operational units, and relevant centers to evaluate and approve proposed infrastructure modifications and alterations essential to long-term weapon system sustainment and reliability.
Coordinate facility change initiation requests to maximize operational availability and advance infrastructure development in alignment with next-generation system transition requirements and evolving mission needs.
Utilize maintenance data collection and supply logistics systems to identify and resolve supply deficiencies in coordination with operational units, ensuring timely mitigation of infrastructure-related sustainment issues that could impact mission performance.
Develop and implement configuration controls within maintenance data collection systems to track critical assets, incorporate programmatic changes, and establish guidelines for emerging programmed depot maintenance and future system sustainment requirements.
Leverage the Integrated Maintenance Data System (IMDS) to conduct performance trend analysis on mission-critical systems, identifying operational or procedural constraints on Real Property (RP) and Real Property Installed Equipment (RPIE) that could affect accuracy, reliability, and readiness standards.
Develop and publish Engineering Technical Assistance Requests (ETARs) to resolve significant RPIE discrepancies occurring outside approved technical procedures, perform analytical reviews of proposed engineering solutions to assess suitability, potential negative impacts on overall system performance and safety for unit-level technicians.
Determine mitigations for RPRPIE identified as mission-critical shortfalls, develop, track, and analyze current and historical anomalies and risks for trends, characterize risks, and identify priority areas for improvement to maintain required readiness levels.
Analyze non-mission capable and partially-mission capable conditions across mission-critical systems to evaluate cumulative effects on performance, system hardness, and survivability, providing strategic insights to inform sustainment priorities.
Prepare technical analyses, background papers, briefings, position papers, point papers, and white papers in support of Sustainment Integration Capabilities and Operational Test Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) planning conferences and General Officer Steering Groups, deliver products that enable director-level and higher decision-making on infrastructure sustainment.
Provide on-site and remote support for Sustainment Conferences, Weapon System Reviews, and the development of associated briefings and documentation.
Support command-level Staff Assistance Visits, inspections, and exercises to promote effective weapon system sustainment and unit operations.
Develop planning documents for legacy system sustainment and transition activities, monitor technical and logistics execution, recommend solutions to ensure adherence to program schedules and task completion, coordinate with supply chain and logistics process owners for de-militarization, inventory actions, procedure development, validation, training, and site support as required.
Support transition planning document development for next-generation systems, monitor and review execution, including resource capacity assessments at operational units to balance current mission commitments with future deployment schedules.
Establish and lead briefings with directors, division, and branch chiefs, and action officers to review initiatives, establish courses of action, and prepare directorate leadership for Logistics Council Board and Working Group conference calls and temporary duty (TDY) requirements.
Write, develop, and publish guidance on behalf of directorate leadership to communicate priorities and direction for command-level initiatives.
Provide briefings, papers, reports, memorandums, and documentation supporting A4 Directorate efforts, including General Officer-level presentations and white papers.
Support policy and guidance development for command response plans, instructions, and checklists addressing contingencies in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), and U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) requirements.
Offer Subject Matter Expert (SME) assistance in staff action support, including staffing information and decision packages through the command chain of command, tracking suspenses and taskers, and preparing correspondence, such as briefing slides, memorandums, electronic Staff Summary Sheets (eSSS), Task Management Tool (TMT) entries, and reports.
Provide assistance and training to contractor, military, or government civilian staff to enhance proficiency and effectiveness in Major Command (MAJCOM)-related functions within the A4 team.
Track and report status of project milestones and action items on the commands SharePoint site, notify functional representatives and leadership of pending items, potential delays or issues, compile inputs and deliverables, and post status updates to the commands information management system as directed.
Collaborate with government and other contractor personnel to accomplish requirements, share information, and achieve mission objectives in a team environment.
