About The Position

The Ascendancy Group's mission is to be the unequaled provider of special operations forces (SOF) and Intelligence Community focused technical, service, and training-based solutions. This position is contingent upon contract award. IMCOM PMPS Services supports the force protection readiness of U.S. Army Installations by providing senior subject matter experts across various disciplines. These experts enable U.S. Army Installations to align with Protection Program instructions and prepare for periodic inspections. This program supports installations' ability to implement best practices to “Prevent, Protect, Mitigate, Respond to, and Recover” from various threats. HHA teams of 6–10 Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) conduct 7–10 installation assessments each year. Before arriving on site, the team reviews installation documents and coordinates with garrison staff, ensuring they are prepared to educate, guide, and advocate for installation personnel throughout the process. During the assessment week, SMEs conduct interviews, inspect facilities, review Protection Program documentation, and observe implementation of required standards. Their primary role is to teach installation teams how to strengthen their programs, clarify protection requirements, and help them prioritize achievable improvements. As they synchronize findings daily, SMEs identify recurring issues and cross-domain trends across AT, PS, EM, Cyber, and other protection disciplines. By capturing these trends across multiple installations, SMEs support IMCOM in driving enterprise-level changes, informing updates to policies, training, and protection program guidance. Each assessment concludes with an out-brief and formal HHA report that provides clear risks, strengths, and actionable recommendations—ensuring installations receive not only a comprehensive evaluation but also advocacy and insights that shape protection improvements across IMCOM.
