Responsibilities

The Senior SOLA is considered the SME for sustainment of all classes of supply and will apply their expertise to all tasks assigned.
Maintain subject matter expertise of Global Plans, Regional Plans and USSOCOM’s CPGSO.
Conduct, participate, or support analysis as required for JCIDS and SOFCIDS as defined in SOCOM Directive 71-4, using JMA data, data from other approved databases, models, and other analytic tools to determine how the procurement of the item would address sustainment of special operations units.
Provide JMA data to support studies, analyses, and Government development of other models, war games, and simulations that are critical to the execution of command activities.
Develop, coordinate and maintain Analysis Plan for JMA ensuring SOF Force Elements have been identified and accurately portrayed with respect to sustainment to allow consistent application within the JMA database to DPS.
Understands SOF force structure and manning, as well as the logistical requirements of those structures and able to develop and articulate CONOPS reflecting this for SOF operations.
Apply the CPG and the DPG into analysis that can be used to assess special operations force design and force planning.
Utilize the SOFAMS suite of software products to support USSOCOM’s POM development cycle.
Interpret SOF adaptations and the SOF portion of OSD Planning Scenarios into tactical level CONOPS to analyze required special operations force structure and perform the following:
Support Government generation of requirements for SOF sustainment capabilities using strategy-to-task relationships.
Enter CONOPS into the JMA database to track SOF requirements.
Maintain Quality Control of user-entered data inside the JMA database.
Provide a Risk-Constrained Force Structure using SCRAAM. This provides a very methodical progression to constrain the force that illustrates the risk within a particular force structure.
Work with Government and contract ORSA to develop analytical products derived from the JMA database, including SOF force structure analysis assessing the capability and capacity of a given special operations force (units and platforms across the spectrum of USSOCOM programs of record) to accomplish specified missions for DPS, using planning factors, rules and assumptions to provide:
An evaluation of the capability and capacity of the SO sustainment force required to execute the NDS (Objective Force), and the supporting analytic data.
Generate strategy-to-task relationships from strategic-level documents in order to correctly portray global SOF operations and emerging requirements.
Conduct force structure “excursions” using both qualitative and quantitative techniques to assess risk and to articulate the adequacy of a particular force structure.
Analyze various fiscally constrained resource files against specific requirements sets in order to highlight the sufficiency of a force structure.
Provides J8 support to the J4 for War Reserve munitions input into DoD’s Munitions Requirements Process in accordance with USSOCOM Directive 700-8.
Provides inputs and analysis of JMA’s logistics and munitions models as part of JMA models class of supply consumption for DoD Analytic Scenarios.
