&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who we are supporting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;The NATO Communication and Information Agency (NCIA) is responsible for providing secure and effective communications and information technology (IT) services to NATO&#39;s member countries and its partners. The agency was established in 2012 and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;The NCIA provides a wide range of services, including:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Cyber Security: The NCIA provides advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect NATO&#39;s communication networks and information systems against cyber threats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Command and Control Systems: The NCIA develops and maintains the systems used by NATO&#39;s military commanders to plan and execute operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Satellite Communications: The NCIA provides satellite communications services to enable secure and reliable communications between NATO forces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Electronic Warfare: The NCIA provides electronic warfare services to support NATO&#39;s mission to detect, deny, and defeat threats to its communication networks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Information Management: The NCIA manages NATO&#39;s information technology infrastructure, including its databases, applications, and servers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Overall, the NCIA plays a critical role in ensuring the security and effectiveness of NATO&#39;s communication and information technology capabilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The program &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assistance and Advisory Service (AAS)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) is NATO’s principal C3 capability deliverer and CIS service provider. It provides, maintains and defends the NATO enterprise-wide information technology infrastructure to enable Allies to consult together under Article IV, and, when required, stand together in the face of attack under Article V.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;To provide these critical services, in the modern evolving dynamic environment the NCI Agency needs to build and maintain high performance-engaged workforce. The NCI Agency workforce strategically consists of three major categorise&#39;s: NATO International Civilians (NIC)&#39;s, Military (Mil), and Interim Workforce Consultants (IWC)&#39;s. The IWCs are a critical part of the overall NCI Agency workforce and make up approximately 15 percent of the total workforce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
