The organization ensures training standardization across the joint force while integrates real-world threat intelligence into curriculum, and maintains alignment with DoW doctrine, policy, and operational priorities.

Position Summary – Counterintelligence Subject Matter Expert (CI SME – ASCC)

The CI SME (ASCC) serves as a senior Counterintelligence analytical instructor and subject matter expert responsible for delivering advanced classroom instruction that prepares CI analysts to independently apply analytical tradecraft principles, methodologies, tools, and techniques in support of complex counterintelligence activities. This role ensures analysts are equipped to provide accurate, timely, and mission-relevant analytical support across the full spectrum of CI operations.

The CI SME develops and delivers rigorous platform-based and applied analytical training designed to strengthen critical thinking, structured analytic techniques, and intelligence production standards. The incumbent evaluates and assesses student performance during practical exercises and applied analytical activities that may exceed eight (8) hours per day, ensuring mastery of tradecraft and adherence to professional standards.

This position requires demonstrated experience conducting, instructing, and/or supervising CI analysis in compliance with Intelligence Community (IC) Directive 203 standards.
