• Experience with DoD/military-style writing conventions and demonstrated ability to prepare clear, concise, and properly structured professional correspondence, staff packages, reports, briefing materials, and other official staff products.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite applications.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using the Defense Security Assistance Management System (DSAMS).
• Working knowledge of the Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) and its application to Security Cooperation and FMS activities.
