Senior Special Operations Logistics Analyst (SOLA) shall perform tasks such as:
- The SeniorSOLAisconsideredthe SMEfor sustainment of all classes of supplyand will apply theirexpertiseto all tasks assigned.
- MaintainsubjectmatterexpertiseofGlobalPlans,Regional Plans and USSOCOM'sCPGSO.
- Conduct,participate, or support analysis asrequiredfor JCIDS and SOFCIDSas defined in SOCOM Directive 71-4, using JMA data, data from other approved databases, models, and other analytic tools todeterminehow the procurement of the item would address sustainment of special operations units.
- ProvideJMA data to support studies, analyses, andGovernmentdevelopment of other models, war games, and simulations that are critical to the execution of command activities.
- Develop,coordinateandmaintainAnalysis Planfor JMA ensuring SOF Force Elements have beenidentifiedand accurately portrayedwith respect to sustainmentto allow consistent application within the JMA database toDPS.
- Understands SOF force structure andmanning, as well as the logistical requirements of those structures andableto 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 theSOFAMSsuite of software products to supportUSSOCOM'sPOM development cycle.
- InterpretSOF adaptations and the SOFportionof OSD Planning Scenarios into tactical level CONOPStoanalyze requiredspecial operationsforce structure and perform the following:
- Support Government generation of requirementsfor 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 usingSCRAAM. This provides a very methodical progression to constrain the force that illustrates the risk within a particular force structure.
- Work with Government and contractORSAtodevelop 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 forDPS, using planning factors, rules and assumptions to provide:
- An evaluation of the capability and capacity of the SO sustainment forcerequiredto execute the NDS (Objective Force), and the supporting analytic data.
- Generate strategy-to-task relationships from strategic-level documentsin order tocorrectly 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 setsin order tohighlight the sufficiency of a force structure.
- ProvidesJ8 support to the J4 for War Reserve munitions input intoDoD's Munitions Requirements Processin accordance withUSSOCOM Directive 700-8.
- Provides inputs and analysis of JMA'slogisticsand munitions models as part of JMA models class of supply consumption for DoD Analytic Scenarios.
