This position is contingent upon the award of a contract. The Travel Orders and Claims Specialist will support the United States Marine Corps Forces, Central Command (MARCENT) and subordinate commands located aboard MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida. As a Component Command to U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM), the role serves the Manpower Directorate (G-1), which analyzes manpower requirements and advises the Commander on personnel operations, policy, administration, and travel management.
You will act as the primary point of contact for travel-related inquiries, processing a high volume of claims (450 to 2,800 per month) from inception to settlement. Your day-to-day involves coordinating logistics with travelers and DoD Commercial Travel Offices, ensuring all transportation, lodging, and meals are scheduled efficiently in compliance with military regulations. You will manage detailed itineraries, adjust plans during emergencies, and assist the Government Travel Charge Card Program Manager. The role requires a deep understanding of federal and DoD policies, including the Defense Travel System, Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), and Department of Defense policies.
The scope of this role extends beyond the base. Contractor personnel must support projected travel to MARCENT's Area of Responsibility (AOR), which includes countries such as Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others across the Middle East and Europe. The ideal candidate must be available for travel on less than 24 hours' notice to support personnel recovery and training for forward-deployed forces.
Lukos has been delivering professional services to the Federal Government for 15 years, supporting agencies in national security, homeland security, international development, and healthcare. Our name, derived from the ancient Greek word for "wolf," reflects our approach to national security: cunning, aggression, patience, and teamwork. While an individual wolf is smart and resilient, our true strength lies in our ability to work together as a pack.
Please note that this position is contingent upon the award of a contract. We will provide updates on the status of the contract and next steps during the hiring process.
