ALU Logistics Life Cycle Management Instructor and Training Developer
FITT Scientific is seeking experienced Logistics Life Cycle Managers to instruct and develop Provisioning course materials at the Army Logistics University at Fort Lee, VA.

The primary objective of Army provisioning is to ensure that end to end supply support activity (for spares and repair parts) is developed in concert with weapon systems and/or end items, and is appropriately reflected in the item’s life cycle provisioning plan. Currently, Provisioning training and career development is disparate and markedly different among the various LCMCs. AMC directed the standardization and institutionalization of this career development through ALU and CPCE, with structured utilization of graduates in provisioning assignments at the LCMCs. CPCE requires additional development and instruction faculty to quickly respond to AMC’s requirement to establish an institutional Provisioning curriculum within the requested timeframe, meet TRADOC standards of education, meet all applicable accreditation standards, and to exploit opportunities presented by recent DA Civilian career path-mapping initiatives.
General: The Instructor and Training Developer will provide support services for the CPCE Enterprise Logistics Committee to train Department of the Army (DA) Civilians and military personnel to the highest institutionalized standard in delivering Provisioning services for secondary & major items management for the Army Materiel Command (AMC) Life Cycle Management Commands (LCMCs).
