Gather, analyze, document, and communicate historical and current readiness information to enable leadership decision-making.
Develop recommended courses of action tied to ANG readiness requirements.
Support implementation plans and ongoing reporting, including executive reports, recurring reports, and special analytical projects.

You will work directly with readiness data and senior-level stakeholders to identify trends, assess operational readiness challenges, develop analytical products, and convert complex information into actionable recommendations and executive briefings. You will also support efforts to improve how units report, assess, forecast, and resource readiness across the enterprise, including readiness reporting, resourcing forecasts, and communication of ANG readiness information to senior Department of Defense audiences, including the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Congress.
