LMI is seeking a Logistics Planner/Operational Contract Support (OCS) Analyst for a position supporting the Joint Staff (J4), Commercial Support to Operations (CSO) Division in the Pentagon. This is a great opportunity to join an established team setting the conditions to better plan and manage commercial capabilities in military operations.

commercial capabilities.

· Strong interpersonal skills with senior staff, as well as tactical and operational officers. The purpose of such interaction is to persuade, influence, justify, or resolve operations or campaign planning matters involving OCS, logistics, and commercial support to
operations.

3. Instructor experience in a military environment teaching joint operational planning, logistics, OCS, or other joint operational

requirements supporting contingency operations.
