BAE Systems will be supporting a set of IDIQ requirements for the stand-up and sustainment of the new Air Force Global Strike Command at Barksdale AFB, LA.   As we await the final RFP, we are proactively looking for candidates that would be interested in employment opportunities at this location.  Since it is a proposal effort, positions would be dependent upon BAE Systems winning the proposal.  

The AFGSC will control all USAF nuclear-capable bombers, missiles, and personnel.  The Command,  which stood up on 7 August 2009, is responsible for defining, training, sustaining, and evaluating the capabilities supporting the missions for providing global nuclear and conventional global strike forces; which includes Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), B52 bomber, and B2 bomber forces.  A time-phased transition of the assigned forces from current Air Force Major Commands (MAJCOM) exists with the ICBM forces transitioning on 1 December 2009 and bomber forces on 1 February 2010.  Concurrent with these transitions is the need to write, coordinate, and approve AFGSC Supplements to Air Force Instructions (AFI) early enough to allow transitioning units to understand, prepare, and implement upon their transition to AFGSC.  In addition, the generation of various other supplements, identification and generation of training materials, identification of the required AFGSC information technology (IT) architecture, and monitoring the development of programs, all of which are not directly tied to the transition plan will further AFGSC’s capabilities towards meeting the nuclear and conventional global strike missions.
