• Strategic Reporting & Integration: Draft comprehensive operational trend assessments and capability gap reports. You will forward these synthesized products to USASOC-level analysts, clearly delineating systemic issues that require intervention from higher headquarters for strategic remediation and validation.

• Knowledge of tools, methods, and concepts of portals and other real or near real time knowledge management systems.
• Knowledge of Army SOF Command structure and doctrine to enable targeted dissemination of observations, insights, and lessons for all operations.
• Ability to prepare collection plans and to collect data using direct methods of interviewing and observation.
• Ability to write detailed reports and deliver briefings to leadership.

Desired:
