The employee informs the supervisor of potentially controversial findings, issues, or problems. Work is evaluated in terms of adequacy of action taken, recommendations provided, and results of work accomplishments.

5.9 Guidelines: Guidelines are available from USARCENT and CENTCOM directives concerning the mission of the command, as well as functional direction in the form of administrative and technical guidance, but are not completely applicable to the work or have gaps in specificity. Prescriptive regulatory guidelines include written instructions from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Department of Defense, Department of the Army, CENTCOM OPLAN directives, and Letters of Instruction. Contractor is encouraged to demonstrate initiative and resourcefulness in deviating from traditional methods or researching trends and patterns to develop new methods, or criteria.

5.10 Complexity: Position requires a high degree of skill, ingenuity, originality, initiative and above all, flexibility in structuring tasks to be fulfilled during crisis action planning and execution. Contractor is expected to know and understand how real world contingency planning resources and constraints, available forces, supplies, transportation assets, etc. are represented in the automated processes. Available and considerable originality is required to perceive inter-relationships in the information flow and to distinguish importance when evaluating user requirements. Must be proficient not only in the standard operation planning and execution systems, but also in related standard and site-unique readiness and status reporting systems.

5.11 Scope and Effect: JOPES is intended to provide DoD-wide direction and procedures for the development, review, approval and execution of OPLANs/CONPLANs, and to provide procedures for planning, coordinating and managing the actual deployment of forces in a military operation. These and other related systems are heavily dependent on automated processes and automated information exchange. Operations plan approval by the JCS depends in large part on the quality of the automated force and deployment lists and the feasibility testing called for in JOPES and related systems. Successful plan execution depends on the accuracy, timeliness and validity of the JOPES database. The occupant is in a key position to influence the quality, accuracy and efficiency of existing system products and of future system-wide capabilities.

Recommendations and decisions made by the occupant affect deployment planning and execution systems used by USARCENT, CENTCOM and the DoD-wide JPEC.

5.12 Contractor shall work closely with functional (operations/plans/logistics) users and technical support personnel on a daily basis. Contacts include representatives, civilian and military, of other commands, NATO commands and governments agencies and of contractors, including HQDA, FORSCOM, ARCENT, CENTCOM, and USTRANSCOM.

5.12.1. Contact is to influence managers or other officials to accept and implement finding and recommendations on organizational improvement or program effectiveness. Contractor shall advise the command on JOPES matters at pertinent conferences and meetings as directed by the ACoS G5 and/or G5 Mobility Warrant Officer, Strategic Movements Branch. Contact with planners and system users at other commands are primarily for the purpose of articulating command positions and exchanging information relative to system capabilities. Contacts with higher headquarters and agencies are primarily to discuss DoD-wide system and procedural limitations, propose alternatives, resolve conflicts and participate in user acceptance testing of planning and execution systems software.

5.13 Physical Demands: The work is primarily sedentary; however, some walking, standing and climbing of stairs is required because of the location of offices and computer facilities.

Contractor shall meet physical demands generated by extensive travel requirements and deployment to a field or shipboard environment to support split-based operations and rotations to support III Corps Forward.

5.14 Contractor shall possess a SECRET clearance, valid for a minimum of six months (180 days) from start date, verified by the DD Form 254. Contractor shall be certified in JOPES Action Officer Course (JAOC) and/or Joint Support Personnel Course (JSPC).

5.15 Contractor Management Reporting (CMR): The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) operates and maintains a secure Army data collection site where the Contractor shall report ALL Contractor manpower (including subcontractor manpower) required for performance of this contract. The Contractor shall completely fill in all the information in the format using the following web address https://Contractormanpower.army.pentagon.mil.
