35F NCOER Bullets — Intelligence Analyst

The 35F Intelligence Analyst collects, processes, and analyzes information to produce intelligence products supporting the commander's decision-making. NCOERs for 35F Soldiers typically cover analyst, section NCOIC, and battalion S2 NCOIC duty positions on an intelligence staff, and evaluators expect bullets that show analytical rigor, product timeliness, and briefing skill — described in generic, unclassified terms only.

Typical duty positions:

Researches, analyzes, and synthesizes information into intelligence products and briefings

Maintains the unit's intelligence databases and situational awareness tools

Prepares periodic intelligence summaries and threat assessments for the command

Trains section personnel on analytical tools, products, and reporting standards

Coordinates information requirements with higher and adjacent intelligence sections

Supports exercise and training event planning with realistic, unclassified scenario products

Example bullets by section:

Character:

o flagged a data source with questionable reliability before it was included in a command product, preserving the integrity of the assessment

o declined to overstate confidence in an assessment despite pressure for a more definitive answer, presenting the analysis honestly instead

Presence:

o briefed the battalion commander on a complex assessment with clarity and composure during a high-tempo training exercise

o maintained professional bearing through a demanding 72-hour exercise operations tempo without a drop in product quality

Intellect:

o identified a pattern across multiple unrelated reports that reframed the section's threat assessment ahead of a training exercise

o built a standardized product template that cut the section's briefing preparation time by a third

Leads:

o led a four-Soldier analyst team through a battalion training exercise, producing daily intelligence summaries on schedule every day

o took the initiative to cross-train the section on a secondary analytical tool without being directed, improving section resilience

Develops:

o mentored a newly assigned analyst through her first independent product, building her confidence and analytical rigor

o built a training plan that brought two junior analysts up to speed on the section's reporting standards within a month

Achieves:

o delivered 100% of scheduled intelligence products on time throughout a six-month training cycle with zero missed suspenses

o streamlined the section's reporting format, cutting review-and-approval turnaround from two days to same-day
