Foreign Disclosure Representative

Position Summary

Support USARCENT foreign-disclosure reviews needed to share authorized intelligence and operational information with foreign governments, international organizations, allies, and coalition partners. The representative researches governing policy, develops documented release recommendations, and helps create usable releasable products while preserving classification, ownership, and disclosure controls.

Requirement-Specific Scope of Work

• Receive and track proposed disclosures and determine the information owner, classification level, source restrictions, intended recipient or country, purpose, and required release timeline.

• Research applicable national, DoD, Army, USARCENT, originator-control, and country- or organization-specific disclosure policy and document the authority supporting each recommendation.

• Review intelligence, briefing slides, operational products, written responses, and supporting material for releasability, need-to-know, disclosure limitations, and required dissemination markings.

• Identify information that cannot be released and recommend authorized redaction, sanitization, extraction, or releasable-version approaches for Government consideration.

• Coordinate disclosure packages with intelligence producers, information owners, security personnel, operational staffs, and other authorized reviewers; resolve discrepancies before routing for decision.

• Prepare clear release or denial recommendations and present the basis, conditions, caveats, and unresolved risks to the authorized Government disclosure decision-maker.

• Verify that approved products carry the correct classification, releasability, country, dissemination, and handling markings before authorized release.

• Maintain case logs, suspense status, approvals, coordination history, released versions, and audit-ready files sufficient to reconstruct the disclosure decision.

• Provide staff guidance on disclosure processes and recurring package deficiencies while avoiding inherently governmental release-approval authority.

Must possess and maintain at least an active Secret clearance. The PWS identifies Top Secret as preferred, and the FAQ states that an interim TS/SCI may be acceptable because Secret is the minimum clearance.

• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Common Access Card, installation access, and required Government system/network access; performance cannot begin while required access is pending.

• Must read, write, speak, and understand English and maintain professional conduct and appearance.

• Must use Government-furnished equipment and authorized systems for performance; unauthorized personal devices or removable media are prohibited on Government networks.

• Must complete required security, cyber/IA, OPSEC, antiterrorism, iWATCH, and local training. Possible CONUS or OCONUS travel may be designated after award.

Three or more years of foreign disclosure, intelligence disclosure, international programs, security cooperation, or closely related experience.

• Demonstrated knowledge of classification, releasability, need-to-know, and disclosure-control principles.

• Experience preparing and documenting disclosure reviews or recommendations in a classified environment.

• Strong research, writing, attention to detail, and stakeholder-coordination skills.

• Foreign Disclosure Officer training or comparable formal instruction is preferred but is not stated as a Government requirement.
