Systems Analyst:
This analyst will immediately be expected to implement process management concepts, capabilities and solutions in support of new classroom modernization and instructional technology planning, development and implementation across the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. The full scope of this work will entail support for 33 TRADOC schools and centers at 16 Army installations. These schools, in turn, comprise thousands of resident classrooms at various stages of modernization. These classrooms support 2,734 courses and 373 language courses. They include 503,164 seats for 434,424 Soldiers; 34,675 other-service personnel; 7,824 international Soldiers; and 26,241 civilians. This analyst will determine training system requirements commensurate with each school and center and determine associated architectures and supporting technologies.
This analyst must have a detailed knowledge of the current and future force Army to include doctrine, force development, organizations, materiel, leadership, personnel and facilities and their relationship to institutional training requirements and associated technological capabilities neeeded in the classroom. Comprehensive assessments and evaluations will be the general rule and not the exception. The individual must be capable of understanding the contemporary operational and functional Army environment surrounding each school and center and apply awareness, knowledge, skills and experience to each modernization effort. The integration of wide ranging Army considerations into these supporting classrooms, their networks and architectures, the complexities of mixing virtual and constructive multi-media educational assets in robust institutional settings is daunting at best. Moreover, the classroom design and development modernization efforts must proceed with a view toward extending instructional technology support beyond the classroom and throughout the Active Army and Reserve Components. The classroom modernization and instructional technologies must be continuously designed, developed and integrated to support hundreds of educational and training courses and thousands of supporting Programs of Instruction. The application of DOD, Army and other governmental regulatory, standards and policy is inherent.
The requested additional System Analyst must possess skills in the area of technology software/hardware system designs, including expert knowledge of computer hardware and software, the Microsoft Windows platform, and enterprise architecture methodology and techniques. The individual must be able to lay out architecture (schematics and technical drawings) for high technology briefings, documents, web sites, and related system designs. All of this must be incorporated into skilled and professional writings, documents and products for review and evaluation by other Computer Science engineering and systems analysts. He or she must be capable of working independently.
