Why we read it this way (8)

The posting requires a Secret clearance to start; TS/SCI may additionally be required for some systems but is not a hard gate at hire.

Degree requirement is flexible: a high school diploma/GED is the stated minimum, with an Associate's or Bachelor's degree listed as preferred and equivalent military training accepted as a substitute — the degree requirement is therefore None.

No overall years-of-experience figure is stated; experience requirements are framed qualitatively ('demonstrated experience', 'hands-on experience') with no specific year count.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role primarily operates and maintains existing network infrastructure (servers, routers, switches, firewalls) and provides end-user IT support in a DoD training environment, pointing to 15-1244. However, the scope of procedure development, C2 system integration, and O365 administration introduces some 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) character.

MAGTF C2 systems familiarity (C2PC, JBC-P, AFATDS, GCSS-MC, GCCS-MC, MCS) is listed under required qualifications but framed as 'familiarity with' — these are highly specialized military systems with no common civilian equivalents; they are noted here but not emitted as discrete skills since they function more as domain-knowledge context than named commercial tools.

The Marine Corps Remedy/ITPRAS procurement system is a DoD-specific internal tool with no civilian equivalent; it is noted here but omitted from the skills list as it is not a broadly recognized named technology.

Domestic travel up to 25% and possible OCONUS travel are required as mission dictates.

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.
