The Surge Response Group (SRG) is a FFP program to satisfy FFP's growing need for surge capacity to meet program requirements. In response to numerous emergencies (including sudden onset and chronic) worldwide, it became clear that FFP requires more staff to cover positions in the field and in FFP/Washington. FFP's SRG program will bring on board select candidates who can work on a part-time basis, for no more than 250 days per calendar year. Once the incumbent is hired and after initial orientation, SRG staff may be deployed within one week to facilitate FFP's response to emergencies. In some cases, they may be called upon to meet short-term needs to monitor non-emergency programs in the field. SRG positions are contracted for an initial period of one year with the option to renew for four years. The incumbent will be considered part of FFP/Washington's resources.

Surge Response Food for Peace Officer's (FFPOSRG's) respond to humanitarian emergencies as
required, worldwide, and may be deployed to the field as a FFP Officer (FFPO) alone, as part of
a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART), or to augment a regional office or mission. The
incumbent may also serve in Washington to perform as a FFPO, or to provide FFPO backstop
coverage for deploying Washington staff. The incumbent may also be assigned to serve as a Program Operations Specialist with FFP's Program Operations Division (POD), a Technical Sector Specialist or a Program and Policy Coordination Officer with FFP's Policy and Technical Division (PTD), or serve on a Response Management Team (RMT) or DART. When in Washington, the incumbent will work primarily on specific ongoing or FFP-funded emergency programs. The remainder of the incumbent's time may be spent on a variety of other FFP-related activities.
