FACLOG is hiring a General Supply Specialist to join its team in Kaiserslautern, Germany, supporting the United States Army Medical Materiel Center-Europe (USAMMCE). This is a full-time, entry-level position that combines office and clerical work with hands-on material handling — processing incoming and outgoing medical device shipments, communicating with manufacturers and vendors about equipment repairs, keeping logbooks and files up to date, and receiving, packing, moving, and transporting medical equipment. A High School Diploma or GED is the education requirement, and military supply experience and GCSS-A familiarity are preferred but not required.

Why This General Supply Specialist Role in Kaiserslautern Stands Out
Meaningful Medical Logistics Mission: The equipment you handle supports medical care for U.S. forces across Europe, so careful, accurate work has a clear purpose
Entry-Level Friendly: No degree is needed — a High School Diploma or GED opens the door, and prior military supply experience is preferred but not required
Varied Daily Work: A mix of paperwork, phone and email coordination, record keeping, and hands-on handling of medical equipment keeps the role practical and varied
Career Growth: Supply specialists often build toward Senior Supply Specialist, Logistics Coordinator, Inventory Control, and Supply Chain roles in the defense logistics and contractor sector
Position Overview
The General Supply Specialist performs clerical duties in an office or mailroom — working with computers, bookkeeping, making and recording inventories, and following all regulatory requirements for office equipment care and use. The role also includes material handling: receiving, unpacking, preparing, packing, moving, relocating, positioning, and transporting medical equipment. You will process incoming and outgoing medical device shipments, forward orders, make follow-ups, prepare forms, and post records; communicate by email and phone with medical device manufacturers and vendors about repairs; brief customers on equipment status, processing times, and transportation section capacity; keep office files and logbooks current; and attend training, meetings, and conferences required by U.S. Army Medical Center Europe.
Why This Role Matters: Medical equipment is only useful when it reaches the right place, in working order, at the right time. As General Supply Specialist, you keep that flow organized — tracking shipments, chasing repairs, updating records, and giving customers clear answers about where their equipment is. Accurate logbooks, timely follow-ups, and careful handling help medical teams across Europe get what they need without avoidable delays.
