Senior Special Operations Analysts (SOA)

Senior Special Operations Analysts (SOA) shall perform tasks such as:

• The Senior Special Operations Analysts are considered Subject Matter Experts (SME) in their designated specialty and will apply their experience and training to all tasks assigned.
• Maintain Subject Matter Expertise of Global and Regional Plans and the USSOCOM Campaign Plan for Global Special Operations(CPGSO) as these documents may be relevant to Concept of Operations(CONOP)development for the Defense Planning Scenarios.
• Conduct, participate, or support analysis as required for JCIDS and SOFCIDS as defined in SOCOMDirective71-4, using JMA data, data from other approved databases, models, and other analytic tools to determine how the procurement of the item would address capability gaps, increase effectiveness, or increase efficiency.
• Provide JMA data to support studies, analyses, and the development of other models, war games, and simulations that are critical to the execution of command activities.
• Develop, coordinate maintain Analysis Plan for JMA ensuring SOF Force Elements have been identified and accurately portrayed to allow consistent application within the JMA database to Defense Planning Scenarios(DPS).
• Apply the Strategic Programming Guidance(SPG)and the DPG into analysis that can be used to assess special operations force design and force planning.
• Utilize the Special Operations Forces Analysis and Modeling System (SOFAMS)suite of software products to support the POM development cycle.
• Interpret SOF adaptations and the SOF portion of OSD Planning Scenarios into tactical level Concepts of Operations (CONOPS)to analyze required special operations force structure and perform the following:

• Support Government generation of requirements for SOF using the latestJ5SOF Operating Concept.
• Enter CONOPS into the JMA database to track SOF requirements.
• Maintain Quality Control of user-entered data inside the JMA database.

• Provide a Risk-Constrained Force Structure using SOF Capabilities-Based Risk Assessment Allocation Tool (SCRAAM). This tool provides a methodical progression to constrain the force that illustrates the risk within a particular force structure.
• Work with Government and contract Operations Research/Systems Analysis (ORSA)to develop analytical products derived from the JMA database, including special operations force structure analysis assessing the capability and capacity of force elements(units and platforms across the spectrum of USSOCOM programs of record) to accomplish specified missions for DPS, using planning factors, rules and assumptions to provide:

• An evaluation of the capability and capacity of the force required to execute the NDS(Objective Force), and the supporting analytic data.
• Generate strategy-to-task relationships from strategic-level documents to correctly portray global SOF operations and emerging requirements.
• Conduct force structure "excursions" using both qualitative and quantitative techniques to assess risk and to articulate the adequacy of a particular force structure.
• Analyze various fiscally constrained resource files against specific requirements sets to highlight the sufficiency/risks of a force structure.
