Summary Click on "Learn more about this agency" button below to view Eligibilities being considered and other IMPORTANT information. The primary purpose of this position is to analyze Air Force enterprise-wide installation complex data to determine the best investment strategy for Air Force built infrastructure assets (including entire installations) in support of the Installation and Mission Support Center, Secretary of the Air Force, HQ USAF, MAJCOM, and installation commanders. Responsibilities The position supports the centralized Activity Integration for Air Force Installation and Mission Support. The position is a Basing and Beddown Analyst within AFIMSC Basing and Beddown branch of AFIMSC. AFIMSC serves as the single intermediate-level headquarters staff supporting AF-wide installation and expeditionary support activities. In any given year the Air Force processes nearly 100 basing actions across the enterprise. These actions span from minor functional movements of a few personnel to major weapon system acquisitions in the billion plus dollar range. Fundamental to Air Force strategy, basing decisions result in a significant resource investment - or possibly divestment - and directly impact the Air Force's ability to execute the mission. The position's role within AFIMSC is uniquely positioned to provide an objective enterprise-wide look to help Air Force decision makers understand the value of various candidate locations. The results of the analysis and research will serve to position forces properly, program projects appropriately and execute consistently, and in turn the Air Force will be less likely to experience cost overruns which put at risk other facilities programs. This position will use and leverage the capability of data analysis tools (ATLAS) to perform many bed down analyses on-site and virtually, working directly with MAJCOM components and the local AFIMSC detachment. Growth and success in this position will require individual development in data visualization software operating capabilities, achievement of accurate and timely decision recommendations for a variety of bed down like scenarios, and overall improvement of the new mission bed down process to accelerate operational capabilities. The position will be responsible for in-depth program management, enterprise analysis and integration of installation data and information to develop investment strategies that meet strategic goals and support Air Force Missions. 1.
