Joint Campaign and Logistics Planner

On Site | Scott AFB, Illinois | Secret Clearance Required (TS/SCI Eligible)
 

If you want to shape how global bulk fuel logistics supports operational war plans and contribute directly to Combatant Command readiness, we would love to talk.

Why This Role Exists

The work we do has real impact, and the people behind it matter just as much.

D&G is seeking a Joint Campaign & Logistics Planner to support the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) in executing its responsibility as the Department's Single Manager for Global Bulk Fuel Management and Delivery (GBFMD).

This position serves as a senior planning authority responsible for translating Department-level guidance, including the National Defense Strategy (NDS), Contingency Planning Guidance (CPG), and Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP) into operational-level bulk fuel posture, distribution concepts, and campaign objectives. The planner leads the operational integration of bulk fuel feasibility assessments into Combatant Command (CCMD) Campaign Plans (CCPs), Operation Plans (OPLANs), and Concept Plans (CONPLANs), identifying strategic risks and developing mitigation strategies for contested logistics environments.

What You Will Do

• Lead operational-level planning and cross-functional campaign synchronization for Global Bulk Fuel Management and Delivery across USTRANSCOM, its Service Components, Geographic Combatant Commands (GCCs), the Joint Staff, and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Energy).
• Represent USTRANSCOM as an authoritative planning expert in Combatant Command Joint Operational Planning Teams (OPTs), embedding bulk fuel posture and logistics distribution into deliberate, crisis action, and contingency plans.
• Translate guidance from the Contingency Planning Guidance (CPG), Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP), and Global Campaign Plans (GCP) into actionable logistics concepts of support, with an emphasis on Annex D (Logistics) and bulk fuel integration.
• Lead and support Bulk Fuel Feasibility Assessments (BFFAs) and Planning Assistance Teams (PATs) to identify distribution bottlenecks, storage shortfalls, and contested-environment vulnerabilities across integrated problem sets.
• Integrate fuel logistics into the Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX) enterprise; assess plan viability by evaluating force movement velocity against theater fuel storage and distribution throughput capacity.
• Coordinate with theater Petroleum Integration Cells (PICs) and Joint Petroleum Officers to align the Petroleum War Reserve Requirement (PWRR) with real-world distribution capabilities.
• Formulate strategic recommendations, executive-level decision briefs, and posture adjustments for the Commander, USTRANSCOM, CCMD leadership, and the Joint Staff.

What We Are Looking For

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in strategic studies, National Security Policy, Military Operational Art and Science, Operations Research, International Relations, or related discipline (or equivalent military staff college completion).

• Planning Acumen: Demonstrated mastery of the Joint Planning Process (JPP) per Joint Publication 5-0 (Joint Planning) and Joint Publication 4-0 (Joint Logistics), with direct experience developing campaign design, Annex D (Logistics), and contingency plans.
• Strategic Policy Alignment: Working knowledge of Department-level planning directives, including the National Defense Strategy (NDS), Contingency Planning Guidance (CPG), Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan (JSCP), and the Global Deployment and Distribution Enterprise.
• System Expertise: Operational proficiency with the Adaptive Planning and Execution (APEX) enterprise and Joint Planning and Execution Services (JPES) at the plan-feasibility and campaign-assessment level (beyond tactical TPFDD data entry).
