Physical Demands
Work will primarily be sedentary in nature; however, some physical labor may be required during deployments with regards to arranging living quarters and reconstitution of base labor camp sites. Incumbent should be able to perform light to moderate physical labor under these conditions.

Work Environment
Work will primarily be performed in an office setting/environment with some international travel involved. Incumbent should be able to obtain an official passport in order to perform these missions.

Expeditionary Civilian
This is an Expeditionary Civilian (EC) position, and the incumbent will be designated as EE/NCE. In the event of a crisis situation, the incumbent may be required to deploy via temporary reassignment or be required to stay in place to support contingency operations. The incumbent may be required to take part in readiness exercises. This position cannot be vacated during a national emergency or mobilization without seriously impairing the capability of the organization to function effectively; therefore, the position requires the incumbent to be screened from military recall. Military Reservists selected for an EC position must arrange for removal from the reserve component prior to appointment to an EC position. This requirement must be met prior to placement in an EC position. Positions identified as EE are subject to deployment to combat support situations. Deployment will be via Temporary Duty (TDY) orders. Deployment may entitle the employee to additional monetary compensation dependent upon the deployment location. Additional allocations are based on the Department of State's determination of a combat zone
