I've worked for the same company for the last 10 years or so. Right out of the Marines, into logistics. I've handled operations since day one and I feel like I finally should move onto bigger & better things. I've handled a team of 200+ employees, more than 10 years experience and truly believe I can just do more. What should I be looking into ? What's next for me team? Do I stay at the same company... or really start putting myself out there to see what's next? Different job? New title ?

10 years is a long time. If you’re not getting the promotions you deserve then go get one by switching companies.

It’s a broad title so it depends on a lot of things. 10 years is an eternity these days. Why not look around at least for OM jobs and see what they pay? If you were OM for all 10 years then definitely overdue for a promotion.

You’d make way more if you went with government contractors (Leidos, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, etc). Consulting companies also have federal services jobs.
