    Support Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), Hurlburt Field, Florida. Develop DoDAF artifacts in support of Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS) and USSOCOM Special Operations Forces Capabilities Integration and Development System (SOFCIDS) Capability Production Document (CPD) level requirements. Review and provide comments on Joint, Air Force (AF) and AFSOC architecture policy documentation. Working within the focus of the AFSOC mission, I’m identifying intersecting program requirements allowing DoDAF architecture artifact reuse, resulting in earlier/on time completion of program documentation. Maintain existing architectures to include program changes and ad-hoc requests for information. Conduct architect development and reviews for the following programs:• Aviation Foreign Internal Defense Fixed Wing Armed ISR Aircraft• Battlefield Air Operations Family of Systems• CV-22 Osprey, Link 16• MC-130H Combat Talon II, Link 16• Airborne Mission Networking• AC-130J Gunship Optimized Ballistic Ammunition
