Air Force Global Strike Command

Air Force Global Strike Command is the Air Force major command responsible for the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missile wings and bomber forces, headquartered at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. Its civilian workforce supports missile and bomber bases in the central and northern United States, from aircraft and vehicle maintenance to the child development, training and administrative functions that keep a base running.

Recent listings have included program analysts, supply technicians, an information technology specialist, a supervisory general engineer, a training instructor, a Defense Travel System technician, a human resources assistant for military personnel, a child development center director, a child and youth programs clerk, an activity program coordinator, and trades positions including a pneudraulic systems mechanic, a heavy mobile equipment mechanic and an HVAC mechanic leader.

Applying tip: the trades and mechanic positions are on the Federal Wage System, with WG and WL pay plans, and are judged on job elements such as the ability to do the work without more than normal supervision rather than on GS-style specialized experience. Our GS pay scale guide explains how that differs from the GS announcements, and the Air Force guide covers Air Force civilian hiring across its commands.
