• Compose, integrate, edit, and quality-control recurring and ad hoc higher-headquarters reports on behalf of the command group.
• Coordinate with Delta staff, squadron leadership, and key stakeholders to gather and synthesize inputs for higher-headquarters and executive-level reporting.
• Draft speeches, informal remarks, ceremony scripts, recorded or virtual messages, talking points, and other senior-leader communications.
• Conduct research and analysis of current local, national, Department of the Air Force, U.S. Space Force, acquisition, and mission-related developments to tailor senior-leader messaging to intended audiences.
• Perform senior-level editorial and quality-control reviews of strategic communications, presentations, reports, and other CAG executive products.
• Support research, drafting, coordination, and quality review of CAG standard operating procedures and executive workflows.
