Dissemination Specialist

Description

The Dissemination Specialist is a mission-critical role within the Data Capabilities Division (DCD), responsible for the high-precision transfer and synchronization of all-source and single-source intelligence across disparate security domains. Serving as the primary engine for the Army Intelligence Data Platform (AIDP), this role ensures that national-to-tactical intelligence products are discoverable and accessible to U.S. forces, joint task forces, and multinational coalition partners.

• Operational Timeliness: Ensure no intelligence product remains un-disseminated for longer than six (6) hours upon receipt to maintain tactical relevance.
