Complexity:

This position involves gathering information, identifying, analyzing, and developing recommendations to resolve substantive strategic, business, and organizational planning problems. Training and Studies events are often complicated by the need to consider and evaluate the impact of projected changes in the US-ROK mission and functions. The SME must consider the context and the climate of continual change within the DoD and the cultural nuances of the ROK military, which is further complicated by the legislative and regulatory, political, and economic realities facing the future ROK organizational reform initiatives. The difficulty is encountered when conducting cross-organizational analysis and determining the second-order consequences and subsequent impact on other DoD and ROK military organizations; tracking several simultaneous processes; projecting the impact of shifting strategy on CFC operations.
