Why we read it this way (9)
The role is located at Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, which is in El Paso County, Colorado — not in the Cheyenne, WY CBSA. The Colorado Springs, CO CBSA (17820) is the correct metro; the posting address is within that metro area.
An active TS with SCI eligibility is an explicit hard gate stated in Basic Requirements.
The DoD IAT Level II (Security+) certification is listed as a current, hard-required credential under Basic Requirements.
The 5-year general experience requirement and 2-year directly related experience requirement are both stated under Basic Requirements; 5 years is used as the overall years minimum as the broader gate.
SPADOC / space situational awareness background appears under Basic Requirements but is framed as an alternative ('or') to Windows System Administration experience, suggesting it is context rather than a standalone hard gate; it is listed as preferred to reflect that optional framing.
An Associate's degree in a computer field is listed under Desired Requirements only, so no minimum degree is set.
VCP/VCAP, Remedy, and network topology knowledge all appear under Desired Requirements and are marked accordingly.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD IAT Level II (Security+).
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
