Future Operations Planner (fires) | Ts/sci

Deloitte Deloitte · Consulting

This role is for a Future Operations Planner within Deloitte's Government & Public Services practice, focusing on theater-level fires and effects coordination for Marine Forces Pacific (MARFORPAC) in the Indo-Pacific theater. The planner will support joint and combined force operations, strategy development, and operational planning, with a requirement for an active TS/SCI clearance. While the role mentions 'autonomous systems integration,' the core responsibilities are centered around traditional military planning, coordination, and strategy, not AI/ML development or direct application.

  1. Apply a demonstrated understanding of US Fires and Effects Security Agreements, policies, and strategies from USINDOPACOM, HQMC, and PACFLT.
  2. Integrate joint warfighting concepts and command relationships into daily planning and assessment.
  3. Execute both joint and Marine Corps planning processes for operational plans and strategy.
  4. Build visual and written briefings, leveraging Microsoft Office and relevant planning software.
