You will help shape real-world strategy and plans that drive operations.

• Draft and refine high‑visibility planning products such as plans, orders, commander’s estimates, briefs, decision papers, and planning summaries.
• Participate in planning events (OPTs/JPTs, working groups), keep the team aligned, and help move work from “discussion” to “approved direction.”
• Coordinate across components, other Combatant Commands, Joint Staff, OSD, and interagency stakeholders to ensure plans are synchronized.
• Provide input on strategy, campaign planning, policy alignment, and exercises to help USCENTCOM maintain readiness and momentum.
• Translate complex guidance into clean, executable tasks and clear storylines leaders can brief.

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Advanced military planning education (examples: SAMS, SAASS, JAWS, MAWS, SAW, Senior Service College, or comparable)
• 5+ years of operational planning experience
• 3+ years of planning experience at a Geographic or Functional Combatant Command HQ
