INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS SPECIALIST - TITLE 32

Intelligence Operations Specialist

As an Intelligence Operations Specialist, GS-0132-11, you will:

Serve as a DGS crew member in the IMINT exploitation section, responsible for IMINT operations and production affecting time critical targeting (TCT), direct threat warning, battle damage assessment, combat identification, combat search and rescue, multi-INT correlation, threat analysis, mapping, intelligence preparation of the battle space, situation monitoring, and mission reporting.

Provides IMINT correlation of data from multiple ISR platforms and intelligence products. Request dynamic sensor re-tasking in order to exploit time critical information not originally entered into the collection plan. Assess the data and provide cross-sensor cueing/tips-offs to other platforms and exploitation sections improving multi-INT correlation. Update Air Force DCGS (Distributed Common Ground Station) components and C4I nodes on IMINT findings.

Evaluate and interpret raw IMINT information received from all sources. Assess present or future value and need of information and forwards to National Agencies, Joint Commands, Air Force MAJCOMs, and AOCs. Establish meaning of information alters or adds significance to information to tend to conform or refute existing estimates of situations. Conduct studies and assemble factual data as required for analysis and interpretation. Participate in pre-mission conferences to outline mission objectives, potential threats, and possible outcomes.

Interpret, exploit, and plot information derived from imagery, establishing specific data such as distance, cubic capacity of buildings, tanks and storage facilities, line of communications, transportation systems, number, type and specific location of facilities and marshaling areas, troop movements and contour of terrain and man-made features. Indicates changes revealed in current photographs in comparison with previous ones and in relation to other pertinent reference material. Plot simulated or actual bomb impact points and indirect bomb damage assessment (BDA). Prepare BDA reports; produce uncontrolled photographic mosaics, control charts, scribed overlays, procedure charts, maps, and aerial photo overlays to include details such as location of airports, facilities, defenses and other elements or features not ordinarily shown on maps and charts.

Use raw Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery and other sources to accomplish time critical taskings received from National Agencies, Joint Commands, Air Force MAJCOMs, and AOCs. Prepare post-mission reports from IMINT analysis of patterns, trends, and characteristics for general intelligence and operational community consumption. Prepare and evaluate finished reports relative to IMINT activities. Brief analysis findings and estimates to superiors and mission planners. Publish finished reports and documents for use by decision-makers in the squadron, AOC, Air Force MAJCOMs, Joint Commands, and the National Agencies.

Research, analyze and plan IMINT exploitation activities in preparation for operational missions. Utilize allotted resources for IMINT operations and analysis activities. Communicate with other intelligence departments and agencies to share data and techniques, findings, and planning for future operations. Work with other crew members to ensure the IMINT exploitation section maintains a capability to provide timely and accurate operational intelligence support and fully trained intelligence personnel during peacetime and contingency operations. Coordinate with the Gaining Command on operational intelligence elements needed to carry out coordination and liaison with counterparts and colleagues in such other major command intelligence organizations as Air Combat Command (ACC) and Air Mobility Command (AMC), Air National Guard Bureau Headquarters (NGB), United States Air Forces Europe (USAFE), Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) and such other governmental agencies as Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), National Security Agency (NSA), U.S. Space Command (SPACECOM), Air Intelligence Agency (AIA), U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Represent the organization at interagency conferences and meetings that deal with specialty functions and internal training requirements at the unit level. To enhance the DGS crew's mission readiness, maintain a thorough knowledge of all aspects of internal IMINT training. Represent the unit in making agreements and commitments within the assigned scope of his/her functional specialty. Provide guidance and assistance to unit and Gaining Command Intelligence specialists and serve to coordinate on projects jointly undertaken by the unit, gaining command, and other organizations. Perform other duties as assigned.
