Why we read it this way (6)
The posting does not name a specific installation or city; ARTRANS/U.S. Army Transportation Command is headquartered at Scott AFB, IL — the CBSA is estimated accordingly and should be confirmed with the employer.
DoDM 8140.03 foundational qualification and DCWF Work Role 621 (Cyber Defense Analyst, Intermediate) are hard-gated requirements stated in the qualifications section; these are credentialing/compliance requirements rather than named tools and are not represented in the skills list.
Certifications are listed as qualifying examples for the DCWF 621 work role: CySA+, GCIA, or CEH satisfy the baseline requirement; CISSP, GCIH, or CASP+ satisfy the advanced requirement. Both groups are marked preferred because the JD frames them as 'common qualifying' and 'advanced' options rather than naming a single required cert.
The alt SOC (15-1244) was considered because the role involves administering government-furnished security tools, but the primary day-to-day work — RMF/ATO, vulnerability management, incident response, and SIEM analysis — is squarely information security analysis.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): POA&M management.
Requires a Secret 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.
