We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. The posting includes Duties (responsibilities), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (who may apply, experience, education), Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (KSA's) maybe as Skills. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those headings.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes many lines like "If interested in applying for this position you may preview the online application:" which is application instruction, should be removed. Also "Conditions of employment" maybe part of Requirements. Also "Reminder to Applicants:" etc. Also "Additional information" includes many lines like "Individual must fully meet qualification/eligibility/background requirements..." etc. Some of that is boilerplate but might be considered requirements? We need to keep substantive info: conditions of employment (background investigation, US citizenship/residency, travel). Also "Additional information" includes many generic statements like Direct deposit required, E-Verify, probationary period, etc. Those are conditions of employment; we should keep them as part of Requirements. However we must avoid duplication and boilerplate like EEO etc. There's no explicit EEO. There's some lines about "Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government..." that's fluff but maybe keep? It's not boilerplate but could be considered generic. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Candidates should be committed..." is not boilerplate but maybe considered fluff; but we should preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. It's substantive? It's a statement about candidate commitment; could be considered part of qualifications? Might be kept but it's vague. Safer to keep it as part of Additional information? Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. I'd keep it as part of Requirements or Additional info but maybe better to include under Requirements as "Additional eligibility criteria". However we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This text is not filler.
We'll structure:

with - items covering KSA: familiarity with Air Force, DoD, or federal branding, trademark, or compliance standards is highly desirable; plus note about best qualified etc? That's more procedural; maybe include as note but could be considered part of Skills? Might be better to keep as part of Qualifications note. But we can include as a bullet under Skills: "Familiarity with Air Force, DoD, or federal branding, trademark, or compliance standards is highly desirable." The note about best qualified is procedural; maybe we can omit as
