This position administers the Wing and Operations Group EFB program for a B-1B group: mobile device management, ForeFlight administration, Exclusive Use Stand-Alone (EUSA) computers, publication currency and equipment custody. The EFB program is still developing in the bomber community, so the manager must handle the technical side and also implement and document higher-headquarters security requirements that change frequently. Prior B-1B experience is not required.
Responsibilities:
- Standardize and maintain electronic flight publications across EUSA computers, Group SharePoint sites, and shared drives. Coordinate with the Stan/Eval Technical Order Distribution Officer, squadron EFB Managers, and Stan/Eval representatives.

- Manage the Wing and Operations Group EFB program per AFGSCI 11-270 and Baseline Configuration announcements.
- Serve as primary Wing EFB Program Manager with a designated alternate. Maintain appointment letters at the Wing and squadron level, and submit them to the AFGSC/A3T EFB Workflow mailbox. Liaise with the AFGSC EFB Program Manager at AFGSC/A3TV.
- Perform maintenance, upgrades, patching, and restoration beyond squadron capability using administrative access to the MDM console, ForeFlight administration, and EUSA local administrator accounts.
- Administer the device fleet in BlackBerry Unified Endpoint Management or the designated successor MDM. Add and remove accounts, track lost or stolen devices, and audit unit compliance.
- Manage the ForeFlight administration account and train squadron EFB managers on configuration for worldwide FLIP use.
- Coordinate commercial internet service for EFB connectivity, relay connectivity problems to the ISP, schedule service calls, and escort technicians through base facilities when required.
- Establish sustainment cost and inventory requirements with the Resource Advisor for EUSA computers, battery extenders, touch-screen gloves, charging systems, faraday bags, lithium fire-bag kits, mounts, cases, and cables. Report these requirements in the annual group budget.
- Maintain accountability as equipment custodian for all Operations Group EFB equipment. Inventory and enroll hardware-refresh devices in the AFGSC Device Enrollment Program and MDM before use, and decommission obsolete equipment through ITEC and DRMO.
- Identify and elevate EFB requirements to leadership and AFGSC/A3T. Watch iOS and technology releases and maintain an obsolescence mitigation plan.
- Use the Microsoft Teams EFB Program Manager site and SharePoint to track announcements, manage user profiles, and assign training to new EFB managers.
- Generate the EFB Audit Report and EFB Sustainment Report, and perform Stan Eval administrative duties as required.
Qualifications:
- Must possess or be able to obtain a Department of Defense (DoD) Secret Security Clearance to access the airfield and military installation.
- Working knowledge of iOS and macOS; two (2) years of IT or device management experience desired.
