We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties (maybe "Responsibilities"), Requirements, Qualifications. Also maybe "Benefits" if present: there is mention of benefits package but not specific details; we should not create Benefits unless specific content. There's mention of "Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." That's pay info, so we can include Pay section. Also schedule? Not specific. There's mention of temporary duty worldwide up to five days per month etc. That's schedule/travel requirement; could be part of Requirements or Duties. But we can include Schedule if specific: "Must perform temporary duty worldwide for periods of up to five days per month or longer if necessary (approximately 25%)." That's schedule/travel. Could be a Schedule section. However guidelines: only include section when posting has real, specific content. So we can include Pay (salary locality) and Schedule (temporary duty). Benefits: only generic statement, not specific, so omit.
We need headings: for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll use Responsibilities for duties. Requirements as is. Qualifications as is. Pay for salary. Schedule for travel/temporary duty.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract duties list, requirements list, qualifications list, pay info, schedule info.
Let's parse duties:
- Provide administrative and national security law counsel to the Commander, command group, and subordinate units, including interactions with oversight bodies (Army Staff, Congressional/Executive committees).
- Prepare and coordinate legal opinions regarding fiscal law and authorities to conduct operations under the FAR, DFAR, AFAR, and in compliance with federal regulations and policies related to intelligence funds
- Integrate legal support into USACIC operational oversight processes and mechanisms.
- Develop and deliver training on CI legal authorities, regulations, and policies, including cyberspace applications.
- Analyze new statutes, proposed legislation, and existing DoD/federal policies affecting CI and cyber authorities.
- Deliver expert legal support and oversight for multiple Army special access programs.
That's duties.
Requirements (conditions of employment) list:
- Appointment may be subject to a suitability or fitness determination, as determined by a completed background investigation.
- Two year trial/probationary period may be required.
- In accordance with Change 3 to AR 600-85, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Program, individual must successfully pass a urinalysis screening for illegal drug use prior to appointment and periodically thereafter.
- Must be a member in good standing of the bar of any state, territory of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret security clearance based on an SBI with eligibility for sensitive compartmented information (SCI).
- Must be willing to submit to and successfully pass a counterintelligence scope polygraph (CSP) examination administered in accordance with Department of Defense and Army Regulations.
- Must perform temporary duty worldwide for periods of up to five days per month or longer if necessary (approximately 25%).
- All INSCOM employees may be subject to extended TDY or worldwide deployments during crisis situations to perform mission essential functions as determined by management.
Note: The last bullet about temporary duty also appears; we might move that to Schedule section. But it's also a requirement. We'll keep it in Requirements maybe, but also could be in Schedule. To avoid duplication, we could keep it in Requirements and not create Schedule separate. However we have Pay section separate. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we keep Requirements inclusive of travel, and not create Schedule. Pay we can create because salary locality is specific.
Qualifications: many bullet points.
We need to extract qualifications list:

Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered.
We need to decide what to keep. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to remove application instructions (like "Please submit cover letter", etc). There's some about documents required for application; those are application instructions? The "The Following Documents Are Required" etc is part of qualifications but also application instructions. However they are substantive about what needed to apply; maybe we keep them as part of Qualifications? The instruction says remove application instructions. But the "The Following Documents Are Required" is definitely application instruction. However it's also part of qualifications (documents needed). The guideline: remove application instructions. So we should omit that list. Also "Examples of writing skills as demonstrated by legal briefs, memoranda, or letters..." is also application instruction. So we should remove those.
Also "PLEASE NOTE THAT REQUIREMENTS FOR EDUCATION, TIME IN GRADE, AND EXPERIENCE MAY BE WAIVED..." is note; maybe keep as it's substantive? It's a note about waiver; could be considered instruction but it's substantive. I'd keep.
Also "PLEASE NOTE THAT IF AN APPLICANT DOES NOT HAVE THEIR LAW SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS..." similar.
We need to decide what to keep. The instruction: remove application instructions. So we should exclude sections that tell applicant what to submit (documents, writing samples, forms). Keep the qualification criteria (education, bar membership, experience, KSAs, etc). Keep the notes about waiver maybe.
Also "Additional information Male applicants born after December 31, 1959, must complete a Pre-Employment Certification Statement for Selective Service Registration." That's a requirement; keep.
"You will be required to provide proof of U.S. Citizenship." Keep.
"Direct Deposit of Pay is required." Keep.
"Selection is subject to restrictions resulting from Department of Defense referral system for displaced employees." Keep.
"If you have retired from federal service and you are interested in employment as a reemployed annuitant, see the information in the This is a Professional Services Career Field 56 position." This is somewhat instructional; maybe keep as note.
"Multiple positions may be filled from this announcement." Keep.
"Salary includes applicable locality pay or Local Market Supplement." Keep for Pay.
"When you perform a Civilian Permanent Change of Station (PCS) with the government, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers the majority of your entitlements to be taxable. Visit Permanent Change of Station (PCS) allowances may be authorized, subject to the provisions of the Joint Travel Regulations and an agency determination that a PCS move is in the Government Interest." This is about PCS; maybe keep as note but not a specific section; could be part of Requirements or Schedule.
"Recruitment, Retention and Relocation Incentives may be authorized." Keep maybe as Benefits? But it's not specific benefits; it's incentives. Could be part of Benefits but we said not to create Benefits unless specific. This is vague; maybe omit.
"Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution." This is more of a desired trait; could be part of Qualifications as a KSA? It's not a skill but attitude. Could keep as paragraph under Qualifications.
"A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." This is generic benefits; we should not create Benefits section because it's not specific. Could omit.
Thus final sections:
for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll use Responsibilities for duties. Requirements as is. Qualifications as is. Pay for salary. Schedule for travel/temporary duty.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate.
