The Indo-Pacific Regional Operations Department (N254) works with the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) and the Military Service Components on-island to inform warfighter requirements and Concepts of Operation (CONOPS), and provides Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems acquisition, engineering, and integration support to the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Allies in the Pacific Theater. N254 is a dynamic and forward leaning organization that provides direct connections to warfighters. These direct connections allow staff to monitor and participate in current operations and exercises. A key output of this access is the ability to inform technology innovation and capability analysis with operational domain expertise. N254 operational depth and warfighter access has generated considerable expertise in the development and analysis of CONOPS, mission threads, use cases, and operational requirements. The Department establishes links between DoD sponsors and Coalition Partner development activities. N254 is on the cutting edge of current operations and is a major thought leader in force modernization.

Using systems models to assess the impact of proposed changes on component or constituent systems
Defining capability and interoperability gaps, overlaps, opportunities, and constraints
Create mission models (MT & METs) from the details from the operational products in MBSE tools (e.g., Cameo)
Create mission architecture products (METs & System Architecture Views) from the mission models
Integrate MBSE (e.g., Cameo) and Operational Analysis (e.g., AFSIM) models to support quantitative and qualitative analysis
Construct military models and entities of varying complexity in AFSIM.
Create and enhance operationally relevant scenarios that accurately represent actions, reactions, and interactions between entities in the AFSIM and Cameo simulations.
Contribute to the development and execution of MS&A study plans to be conducted using AFSIM.
Coordinate with team members to contribute to execution of analysis of studies, analyze results, and prepare and present study findings.
Collaborate with study leads and customer stakeholders to identify study requirements and develop relevant technical approaches.
Analyzing complex systems-of-systems to provide actionable recommendations to US Indo-Pacific sponsors.
