Why we read it this way (8)
The role is field-based across various U.S. Army installations (CONUS) with up to 75% travel; no fixed single metro applies. Fredericksburg, VA (OSG's corporate HQ) is used as the closest proxy metro.
An Active Secret clearance is a hard gate; Top Secret eligibility is explicitly preferred but not required.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a relevant field but explicitly allows substitution via military, Federal law enforcement, or senior DoD experience — treated as no hard degree gate.
CompTIA Security+ is listed as a required certification but the JD also accepts any 'DoD 8570/8140 baseline certification' as an equivalent — alternatives would include GISF, SSCP, and similar DoD 8570 IAT Level II baseline certs.
CISSP, CISM, and CISA are listed together under Preferred Certifications; they are grouped as alternatives since any one would satisfy the preferred certification intent, though a hiring manager may value each independently.
OPSEC Level I and Antiterrorism Level I Awareness are listed as required certifications but are DoD training completions rather than named technology skills, so they are captured under the OPSEC and DoD Cybersecurity Programs skill gates rather than emitted as separate skills.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD Cyber Awareness Training.
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.
