GS-0346 Logistics Management resume example (GS-11, 2 pages)

This is a two-page federal resume for a GS-0346 Logistics Management job at GS-11. It is written the way OPM now requires. Derek is a fictional Marine logistics chief, a Gunnery Sergeant with 18 years in, the last three spent running a battalion logistics program. If you moved units, ran supply, or planned deployments in any branch, this is the format the rater expects. Under it: why each block is built the way it is, the words the job post uses, and a free score on your own federal resume.

Professional Experience
United States Marine Corps, Combat Logistics Battalion 2 - Camp Lejeune, NC01 Jun 2022 to 31 Aug 2025
Logistics and Mobility Chief40 hrs/wk

LOGISTICS PLANNING AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT- Developed and implemented the logistics plan for a battalion of 900 Marines, covering supply, maintenance, transportation, and engineer support for exercises and deployments. Wrote the logistics annex for 9 operations, set the timeline and resource requirements for each, and coordinated the plan with 6 supported units and 3 outside commands. All 9 movements met their required delivery date, and the commander adopted the planning checklist as the unit standard.

DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT- Managed the movement of 4.6 million pounds of unit equipment across sea, air, and ground in the MAGTF Deployment Support System II (MDSS II), the Integrated Computerized Deployment System (ICODES), and the Transportation Coordinators' Automated Information for Movement System II (TC-AIMS II). Built the load plans, sequenced the cargo so it came off in the order the receiving unit needed, coordinated the lift with the installation traffic management office, and tracked every shipment to arrival. Three years with no frustrated cargo and no missed sail or flight dates.

SUPPLY CHAIN AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT- Oversaw a $71M equipment account across 3 property accounts in the Global Combat Support System-Marine Corps (GCSS-MC), the Marine Corps enterprise resource planning system, with 4,100 line items on the Consolidated Memorandum Receipt (CMR). Set stock levels from 12 months of demand history, reconciled the account against the maintenance backlog each month, and cleared every discrepancy within 15 days. Closed 4 consecutive property audits with zero losses and no negative findings.

READINESS ANALYSIS AND REPORTING- Analyzed equipment readiness and supply performance data in GCSS-MC each week and briefed the results to the battalion commander and the group logistics officer. Built the readiness dashboard the staff used to rank maintenance and parts priorities, then rewrote the stock levels for 14 sections after the demand review. Deadlined equipment dropped 34 percent in one year and average parts wait time fell from 21 days to 12.

Embarkation Chief40 hrs/wk

DEPLOYMENT AND MOBILITY PLANNING- Planned the load-out of a 2,200-person expeditionary unit aboard 3 amphibious ships, sequencing 1.8 million pounds of equipment across vessel decks in ICODES with the ship's combat cargo officer. Built the deployment data in MDSS II for 11 subordinate units, checked each unit's cargo against the lift available, and resolved the shortfalls before the load date. The unit sailed on schedule with zero load errors and no equipment left behind.

LOGISTICS COORDINATION ACROSS ORGANIZATIONS- Coordinated sustainment for 11 subordinate units across 3 ships and 4 foreign ports during a 7-month deployment, working daily with Navy supply officers, the air element, and host-nation contractors. Tracked the requirements, submitted the requisitions, and arranged the surface and air movement for each resupply, working the shortfalls with the group logistics section when a port could not fill an order. Delivered 340 short tons of sustainment across the deployment with no mission delay traced to logistics.

TRAINING AND SUPERVISION- Supervised 8 embarkation specialists, set the section's training plan, wrote their evaluations, and certified each one on load planning before the deployment workup. Wrote the unit's embarkation standard operating procedure and taught it to 11 unit representatives across 4 classes. All 11 passed the pre-deployment certification and the load-out timeline shortened by 2 days.

UNIT MOVEMENT EXECUTION- Executed 14 unit movements a year for a 600-person artillery battalion across air, sea, and rail to training areas in Japan, Korea, and Australia. Prepared the movement data in MDSS II and TC-AIMS II, built the load plans, and coordinated the lift with the installation traffic management office. Every movement departed on its scheduled date across 3 years with no cargo rejected at the port or the airfield.

PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY- Maintained the battalion's Consolidated Memorandum Receipt of 2,700 line items valued at $34M in GCSS-MC, processing receipts, issues, and turn-ins for 5 batteries. Conducted the quarterly wall-to-wall inventory, researched every discrepancy against the transaction history, and reported the results to the battalion executive officer. Closed 3 annual property audits with no losses and cut open discrepancies from 61 to 4.

SUPPLY REQUISITION AND TRACKING- Processed about 1,900 requisitions a year for repair parts, ammunition support gear, and consumables, tracking each one from submission to receipt in GCSS-MC. Screened the priority requests against their readiness impact, expedited the ones holding equipment down, and briefed the status to the maintenance chief each week. Average requisition wait time fell from 26 days to 15 over two years.

EMBARKATION SUPPORT- Prepared and inspected unit cargo for 11 air and sea movements supporting an infantry battalion of 900 Marines, weighing and marking each piece and building the pallets and containers to joint packaging standards. Entered the cargo data in MDSS II and corrected the records the traffic management office returned before each cutoff. All 11 movements cleared inspection on the first pass with no hazardous material violations.

WAREHOUSE AND ISSUE OPERATIONS- Operated the battalion supply warehouse, receiving, storing, and issuing individual equipment and organizational gear to 4 rifle companies through 3 deployment cycles. Verified every receipt against the requisition, posted the transaction in GCSS-MC the same day, and kept the bin locations current. Held issue accuracy above 99 percent across 3 annual inspections and completed each company's issue in under 2 days.

MOVEMENT DOCUMENTATION- Prepared shipping documents, packing lists, and hazardous material declarations for 11 movements and kept the movement files to Marine Corps records standards. Coordinated corrections with the traffic management office and the receiving units whenever a manifest changed. Passed 2 records inspections with no findings and trained 4 junior Marines on the documentation set.

Why this example works

  1. The summary is one dense paragraph, not a headline.

    Five sentences, the way BMR writes it. Who he is and how long. The size of the units he supported. The duties in the words the 0346 series uses: logistics plans, supply chain, distribution and transportation, readiness. Two results with numbers, the systems, the credential, the clearance. It never says "applying for" and never names the job post. The HR specialist already knows which job you applied to. The summary's job is to prove you have done the work.

  2. Every job block carries the fields the rater needs to credit the time, and nothing else.

    Employer, title, dates with month and year (the day is fine too), and hours per week. Leave off hours per week and the rater may not be able to count that job at all. No series or grade on a military job: those fields are for prior federal positions.

  3. Every bullet is a three-sentence paragraph, even on the oldest job.

    Each opens with a header in caps the rater can scan, then a dash and the paragraph: what he did, how, in which system (GCSS-MC, MDSS II, ICODES), at what scale, and what came of it. The 2007 landing support job gets the same treatment as the 2025 chief job. A one-line bullet gives the rater nothing to grade, and a thin old job makes the rater wonder what you did for six years.

  4. The headers are the series' own words.

    "Logistics planning." "Supply chain and inventory management." "Distribution and transportation management." "Readiness analysis." Those phrases come straight from the 0346 duties OPM lists. The rater matches your lines to the job post, so use the job post's words.

  5. The top job proves the GS-11 requirement on its own.

    GS-11 asks for one year at the GS-9 level. In logistics that means you ran a program, not a task list. The first bullet says he built the logistics plan for a battalion of 900 Marines and coordinated it with six units and three outside commands. Those words are there to answer that requirement.

  6. Acronyms get spelled out the first time, then used.

    GCSS-MC becomes "the Global Combat Support System-Marine Corps, the Marine Corps enterprise resource planning system." A rater outside the Marine Corps has never seen it. One clause fixes that, and the acronym is still there for a search.

  7. Older jobs get fewer bullets, not thinner ones.

    The jobs before 2022 get three bullets or two instead of four, and each one is still a full paragraph with the system, the volume, and the result. They stay dated and carry hours per week, so the rater can count all 18 years. What they give up is bullets, not detail.

  8. Nothing OPM leaves out is on the page.

    No Social Security number, no photo, no age, no references, no KSA essays, no skills list, no supervisor line. Clearance, citizenship, and preference sit in one line. Preference is proven by the DD-214 under Required Documents, not by a paragraph in the resume.

The words the announcement uses

The words a 0346 job post uses, and what GS-11 requires.

Duties the job post lists

  • Develop and implement logistics plans and strategies
  • Coordinate supply chain operations
  • Manage distribution and transportation systems
  • Analyze logistics data and performance
  • Oversee inventory management
  • Ensure readiness of equipment and supplies
  • Apply integrated logistics support and life-cycle planning
  • Coordinate with multiple stakeholder organizations

Competencies the questionnaire tends to rate

  • Logistics planning
  • Supply chain management
  • Analytical skills
  • Problem solving
  • Communication
  • Resource management

What GS-11 requires (OPM, Administrative and Management Positions group standard): one year of specialized experience equivalent to GS-9, OR a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree, OR three full years of progressively higher-level graduate education, OR a combination. GS-9 moves that down to one year at GS-7, or a master's degree, or two years of graduate education. The 0346 series has no individual occupational requirement beyond the group standard.

Sources: OPM qualification standard for the Logistics Management Series 0346 ("There are no Individual Occupational Requirements for this series"; use the Group Coverage Qualification Standard for Administrative and Management Positions) and that group standard; USAJOBS help, "What should I include in my federal resume?"; OPM Merit Hiring Plan resources, applicant guidance on the two-page resume limit. All read 2026-09-09. Title 5 positions; Title 38 and hybrid Title 38 positions are exempt from the two-page limit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I qualify for GS-11 with military experience only?

Often, yes. GS-11 asks for one year of experience at the GS-9 level, or a doctorate, or three years of grad school. In logistics that means you owned a program, not a task list. A senior NCO who wrote the unit logistics plan, ran the property account, and set the priorities can usually show that year. The catch is the word "equivalent." Your resume has to show the work at that level, in the job post's words, with the hours per week and the dates the rater needs. That is what Derek's top block does.

Should I apply for 0346 or for the supply series?

It depends on what you ran. The 0346 series is logistics management: plans, distribution, transportation, readiness. The 2000 family is supply: 2001 general supply, 2003 supply program management, 2010 inventory management. Ran a warehouse and a stock account? A supply series may fit you better, and the grades are just as good. Planned movements and worked across units? Then 0346 is your door. Nothing stops you applying to both.

Do I have to list my supervisor and my salary?

No. USAJOBS requires the employer, the job title, start and end dates with month and year, and hours per week for each job. Series and grade are required only for past federal jobs. Supervisor name and phone are optional; some applicants add them for the most recent job, with "may contact" or "do not contact." Salary is not on OPM's list at all. This example leaves both off, and it leaves grade off too, because series and grade are for prior federal jobs, not military rank.
