About The Position

This position is contingent upon award of contract. The SPARC Intelligence Planner employs intelligence expertise and knowledge to assist in the integration of Defense and National Intelligence support capabilities—including collection, analytic, and targeting activities—into overarching operational planning functions and efforts across the DoD. The Intelligence Planner supports the development of campaign plans, deliberate planning, crisis management, and time-sensitive planning in accordance with the Joint Operations Planning and Execution System (JOPES) or successor systems (e.g., Joint Planning and Execution Services). The planner develops and maintains contractor support plans in response to CMG-generated scenarios based on Theater plans and emerging requirements, recommending prioritization and staffing timelines. Upon receipt of capability gap requirements from USG planners, the contractor conducts deliberate or crisis action planning for the integration of contractor capabilities into theater priority plans and emerging requirements, packages and presents planning results to the CMG planning staff for consideration and acceptance, and prepares to transition to support of the Mission Integration Division upon government execution of a crisis response surge requirement.
