Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF), Joint Base Lewis McChord, Tacoma, WA, *Secret Clearance Required
The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is a Unified Combatant Command of the Department of Defense (DoD). USSOCOM’s mission is to “Provide fully capable Special Operations Forces to defend the United States and its interests.” This also includes three command priorities: “Deter, Disrupt, and Defeat Terrorist Threats; Develop and Support our People and Families; and Sustain and Modernize the Force”. These priorities support USSOCOM’s ongoing efforts to ensure SOF are highly trained, properly equipped and deployed to the right places at the right times for the right missions.
The USSOCOM Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF)’s mission is to build and implement a superior holistic approach to address the pressure on the force and also the increased stress on operators’ families. POTFF’s mission is accomplished by increasing the physical, mental, social, and spiritual capacity of the SOF over their careers, decreasing the rate of physical and emotional injuries from all causes, and significantly accelerating return to duty times. POTFF will identify and implement innovative, persistent and valuable solutions across the USSOCOM enterprise aimed at tangibly improving career long occupational capacity, enduring health and ability to remain highly resistant to extreme combat and inter-deployment stress. USSOCOM is implementing a set of initiatives designed to enhance the resilience and well-being of SOF and their families throughout the USSOCOM enterprise. These initiatives are largely preventive in nature and are intended to reduce incidences of behavioral health problems throughout the force. The POTFF initiative consists of four primary lines of effort (LoE): Human Performance (HP), Behavioral Health, Spiritual Enhancement, and Social/Family Programs.
The program’s end state is to prepare, preserve, sustain and ultimately multiply USSOCOM’s combat power by application of integrated inter-disciplinary personal services teams. These teams shall consist of Government Program Management personnel supported by contractor personnel. The intent of this contract is to organize contractor support for human performance and behavioral health services in order to augment DoD and Service programs. These services shall be provided at the individual and operational team or company level under the management of the Government COR via individual task orders (TO). It is the Government’s responsibility to ensure these programs are successfully implemented with the use of contractor personnel.

This will be accomplished by providing state-of-the-art, professional services in two major domains: human performance and behavioral health.
