Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is a close call: the role primarily designs, deploys, and engineers network infrastructure (leaning 15-1244), but the heavy Zero Trust, C2C, and micro-segmentation focus also overlaps with 15-1212 Information Security Analysts. 15-1244 was chosen because the day-to-day work centers on building and operating network infrastructure rather than security analysis.
Experience requirement is tiered by education level: 12 years with a high school diploma, 10 years with an associate's, 8 years with a bachelor's, 6 years with a master's, or 3 years with a PhD. The minimum (8 years with a BS/BA) is used for the overall years minimum; no specific degree is hard-required since the tiers allow equivalent experience at any education level.
DoD 8140 Work Role Code 441 (Network Operations Specialist – Intermediate) compliance is listed under Desired Qualifications with a deadline of 1 Oct 2026, so it is treated as preferred rather than a current hard gate.
The posting refers to 'Department of War (DoW)' — this appears to be an internal or contract-specific term used in place of 'Department of Defense (DoD)'; it does not change the role classification.
Comply-to-Connect (C2C) is a named initiative/capability area rather than a discrete commercial product, so it is captured under the broader 'Network Access Control' required skill rather than as a standalone tool name.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT II.
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.
