(S) Volunteer Position for a CT Analyst in Baghdad
FROM: SIGINT Communications
Run Date: 12/21/2003
(S) Are you interested in supporting the war on terrorism? If, so, a unique opportunity awaits
you as a Counterterrorism (CT) subject matter expert supporting the Iraqi Survey Group (ISG)
in Baghdad! The ISG, led by CIA and DIA, is responsible for the immediate exploitation of
terrorist-related information and disruption of terrorist activities. Secondly, it handles the
Document Exploitation (DOCEX) mission within Iraq. Literally tons of material has been collected
throughout Iraq, both physical media and through interrogations. NSA supports this effort fully
and has committed to staff two analytic ISG positions in Baghdad. While the ISG does not have
a SIGINT mission, SIGINT analysts will look for SIGINT leads, provide reach-back into NSA
databases, and provide the SIGINT perspective to ISG operations. The CT analyst will deploy in
January 2004 for approximately 120 days.
(S) The selectee will, in all likelihood, be involved in the interrogation/questioning of potential
leads (there is no language requirement for this position), the evaluation and analysis of
interrogation reports and other HUMINT-based reports, and the review and evaluation of
captured documents and computer files in an attempt to identify and construct networks of who
the insurgents are, who they communicate with and, ultimately, their planning.
(S) After appropriate training, you will deploy to the Baghdad Survey Analysis Center, at the
Baghdad International Airport, home to several of Saddam's former Palaces. The living
conditions have improved significantly to include hot meals and adequate sleeping
accommodations.
(U//FOUO) Successful applicants, for the initial and follow-on deployments, will follow both NSA
TDY and DIA pre-deployment processing routines. DIA processing includes various briefings at
the DIAC and a required weeklong pre-deployment TDY for training at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma or Ft.
Bliss, Texas. During the week you will receive Iraqi AOR-required uniforms and equipment,
weapons qualification training, and medical screening, to include all required immunizations. You
will be issued all necessary chemical/biological protective gear. Additional weapons qualification
may be needed at NSA prior to deployment. Both military and civilian personnel will receive
entitlements in accordance with all applicable regulations and policies.
(U//FOUO) Interested civilians should forward a copy of their Internal Staffing Resume.
Interested military personnel should forward a biographical sketch containing your name, rank,
telephone number, current office and supervisor, military unit, and pertinent mission
background information. All volunteers must also inform their appropriate supervisory chain of
their interest in volunteering for this position. Send all applications to Deployment Services
Account Manager,
(
. Please use: "DOCEX / CT Requirement
Volunteer" as the subject of your e-mail. All volunteer applications must be received by 7
January 2004.
