254A - Signal Systems Support Technician

Duties:

Signal Systems Support Technicians supervise and manage the tactical Internet and administer the local area network (LAN) and radio systems in tactical operation centers (TOC). They plan, administer, manage, maintain, operate, integrate, secure and troubleshoot Army Battle Command System (ABCS), Automated Information Systems (AIS), tactical data distribution, and radio systems. They lead personnel and sections and manage the training of personnel on the installation, administration, management, maintenance, operation, integration, securing and troubleshooting of tactical ABCS/AIS, intranets, radio systems, and video teleconferencing systems. They perform system integration and administration and implement Information Assurance programs to protect and defend information, computers, and networks from disruption, denial of service, degradation, or destruction. They develop policy recommendations and advise commanders and staffs on planning, installing, administering, managing, maintaining, operating, integrating and securing ABCS/AIS, intranets, radio systems, and video teleconferencing systems on Army, Joint, Combined, and Coalition networks.

Minimum prerequisites (all general prerequisites apply):
 

• Be a SGT (E5) or above. -- Four years of documented practical experience in Signal systems support, Army Battle Command System (ABCS), Automated Information Systems (AIS) administration, Local Area Network (LAN) administration, and/or Information Assurance/Computer Network Defense (IA/CND). -- Practical experience may be documented through NCO evaluation reports and award citations. In some instances practical experience acquired from civilian employment may be acceptable provided the experience can be documented by employee evaluations or performance appraisals and determined to be equivalent to military experience.
 

• A minimum of 36 months of rated time documented in NCOERs. -- This is the minimum prerequisite; all NCOERs must be submitted for consideration. -- Applicant’s three most recent NCOERs must reflect outstanding duty performance ratings.
 

• A minimum of six semester hours of college level English from an accredited academic institution. Speech and public speaking courses are not considered as meeting this requirement even if administered by the English department of an institution. Successful completion of the CLEP general examination in English or an Associates degree or higher (when the preponderance of college credit is from college instruction vice credited experience) are the only acceptable alternatives.
 

• Applicants with Reserve Component time must submit official documentation in order to properly compute the length of Active Federal Service. Documentation may be a DA Form 1506 (i.e., Statement of Service), an official memorandum (on unit letterhead) signed by the unit S1, or similar documentation (e.g., RPAM statement).
 

Reserve Component Only: Waiver requests for E4s and/or for the minimum of three NCOER’s will be considered on a case-by-case base.
 

NOTE: Although a letter from a senior Signal Warrant Officer is not required, it will add weight to the overall strength of the packet. In its place, and of much greater value, is a letter from an IT professional (e.g., your unit S3 or S6, a GS-13, or, even better, a senior Signal Warrant Officer), with personal knowledge of your technical skills and leadership potential. Additionally, though not a requirement nor a prerequisite, the following certification (in order) also provide great weight to the overall strength of the packet and should be cited in the resume and included in the packet: CCSP, CCNP, CCNA, and MCSE.
