The analyst examines historical records, documents recommended actions, and submits work for quality control, and prepares, tracks, routes, and packages MDR records so reviewers can focus on substantive analysis. The employee reports to KBS program leadership and works full time on site at Joint Base Andrews.

Responsibilities

• Complete Standard Form 715 for records recommended for exemption, exclusion, or referral, in accordance with approved procedures.
• Enter review findings and decision metadata into the AFDO database on SIPRNET; maintain accurate page counts, record identifiers, and review status.

• Maintain accurate case data, document inventories, routing logs, suspense dates, and status entries in approved databases and tracking tools.
• Prepare records for review through document organization, scanning, indexing, labeling, and electronic file quality checks using authorized equipment and procedures.
• Route cases, referrals, and supporting materials to designated reviewers; track pending actions and elevate delays or discrepancies to the KBS lead.
• Draft routine acknowledgments, status correspondence, and transmittals using approved templates for review and authorization.
• Assemble complete case packages, reconcile page counts and attachments, and prepare records for handoff to the Government MDR Program Manager for final release.
• Support approved workflow improvements and automation by documenting intake steps, testing administrative tools, and tracking internal processing time separately from external review delays.
• Provide accurate workload and status data for production reporting.
• Protect physical and electronic classified records, preserve document order and accountability, and support inventory, secure storage, archival preparation, and workspace security procedures.

Experience

• Strong reading comprehension, clear written and verbal communication, analytical judgment, and attention to detail when reviewing lengthy or complex historical documents and handling sensitive information.
• Ability to learn and consistently apply classification and declassification guidance, document a clear rationale, and elevate uncertain findings.
• Ability to organize physical and electronic records, enter and reconcile data accurately, manage competing suspenses, and follow written procedures.
• Working proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook, electronic document management, database entry, and case tracking tools; ability to learn authorized review systems.
• Ability to sustain accurate, production oriented document review, accept quality control feedback, and work full time on site.

Required Qualifications

• Maintain required clearance and Government-approved access throughout assignment.
• College degree in an associated field, or military service, required.
• Experience in declassification, MDR, FOIA, classified records handling, intelligence support, historical research, federal records management, or administrative case processing, preferred.

• Experience using SharePoint or tracking databases and preparing correspondence and document packages, preferred.

Training and Continued Assignment

Must successfully complete and pass required declassification training and associated assessments within the assigned timeframe to retain this position.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in removal from the position. Complete required cyber awareness, operations security, derivative classification, unauthorized disclosure, insider threat, privacy, CUI, and local facility training. Complete AFDO equities training and Department of Energy historical records reviewer training when required for assigned duties.

Records Handling and Local Travel

When assigned secure transport duties, must be able to lift and maneuver standard records boxes weighing up to 40 pounds without assistance. Designated couriers must hold a valid state driver's license and obtain required authorization for local records transport between the Washington National Records Center and Joint Base Andrews.

Performance Expectations

Meet the initial analyst standard of 1,750 pages per day, with 95 percent of daily page-count targets met per analyst per month.
