  • Familiarity with logistics, international support agreements, and operational planning supporting OCONUS activities.
  • Experience developing schedules, cost estimates, readiness metrics, and operational support plans.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely.
