Why we read it this way (10)
No work location is specified in the posting; the role supports SMC Directorates and/or AFSPC Operational Units, which are Space Force/Air Force entities typically located at bases such as Los Angeles AFB or Peterson SFB, but no city or state is stated — CBSA left blank.
The degree requirement accepts 4 years of equivalent experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Total experience requirement is stated as '3–5 years total related experience'; minimum (3) is used.
The role requires a current TS/SCI clearance AND willingness to submit to a Counterintelligence polygraph — both are hard gates.
DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level 2 certification must be obtained within 6 months of hire; treated as a hard requirement since it is explicitly gated in the Requirements section.
JAFAN 6/0, DCID/JAFAN 6/3, DCID/JAFAN 6/9, and related SCI policy standards are listed under 'Other Requirements' as working knowledge; JAFAN 6/0 is used as the representative skill for this policy family.
PL3/PL4 cross-domain solutions experience is explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends network/systems administration (15-1244) with information assurance/security policy work (15-1212); the day-to-day emphasis on installing, maintaining, and supporting a classified Windows network tips it toward 15-1244.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Firewall administration, DoD 8570 IAT Level 2, PL3/PL4 cross-domain solutions.
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.
