Why we read it this way (9)
The role is on-site at Peterson Space Force Base (formerly Peterson AFB), Colorado Springs, CO — no remote work is indicated.
The degree requirement is flexible: BS/BA + 2 years, MS + 0 years, AS/AA + 4 years, or HS diploma + 6 years all satisfy the gate. Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None.
Total experience minimum is set to 2 years, reflecting the lowest qualifying combination (BS/BA + 2 years). Candidates with less education must supply more experience.
The DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II certification is a hard gate; the named certifications (Security+, CCNA Security, CySA+, GICSP, GSEC, SSCP) are listed as acceptable alternatives for satisfying that single requirement.
CCNA is listed as a separate, standalone required qualification distinct from the IAT Level II cert.
DoD 8140 Work Role Code 441 – Network Operations Specialist (Intermediate or higher) is listed under 'Highly Desired Qualifications' with a compliance deadline of 1 Oct 2026, so it is treated as preferred rather than a current hard gate.
Some positions may require shift work or non-standard schedules to support 24x7x365 USSOCOM operations.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): LAN administration, WAN administration, DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II, DoD 8140 Work Role Code 441.
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.
