Why we read it this way (7)

The title reads 'System Administrator (Service Desk Focus)' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3–5+ years requirement and the role's scope (frontline support with some infrastructure assist duties) support a Mid-level classification.

West Point, GA falls within the Columbus, GA-AL CBSA (17980), the nearest metro area.

A Bachelor's degree is listed only under 'Nice-to-Have Requirements' and is therefore not a hard gate.

Industry certifications (CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Microsoft, ITIL) are also listed under 'Nice-to-Have' and are captured as preferred. CompTIA A+ is used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives since they are presented as a group.

Windows Server, VMware, and full Microsoft 365 administration experience appear under 'Nice-to-Have Requirements' and are marked preferred, even though the role involves assisting with these technologies day-to-day.

DNS and DHCP appear only in the responsibilities narrative (not in the Must-Have or Nice-to-Have sections) and are marked preferred accordingly.

The 'desktop/laptop support' skill consolidates the endpoint device support requirement (desktops, laptops, printers, scanners, mobile devices) as a single named capability gate from the Must-Have section.
