General Summary:
The SA specialist performs analysis efforts once the initial annual BSA schedule is agreed upon. Once candidate BSA sites are identified, the SA specialist conducts extensive research and builds a library file for each site of open source, unclassified, and classified information.

• Retain the BSA library materials regarding the sites for future reference.
• Examine each MET in detail to identify the TCAs necessary for mission accomplishment and to review any COOP requirements.
• Develop a complete understanding of the MEFs and TCAs that satisfy the requirements of the overall sites being assessed, in support of the entire BSA team.
• Develop a comprehensive understanding of the implications of vulnerabilities discovered by the other specialists, to the overall sites and to the national and military missions that they support.
• Simulate the collection activities normally associated with a hostile agent operation in the local area based upon the name of the city/base/port and a general description of the target.
Requirements:
• Bachelor’s of Science degree or equivalent experience.
• At least 10 years operational experience in the military or other comparable civilian position.
• Experience working in a SCIF environment.
• Ability to support multiple programs; multi-tasking ability critical.
