Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to ensure proper nesting:
About the role
then ... maybe multiple paragraphs.
Let's craft.
Check for any duplicated content: The summary mentions "Please see announcement on USAJOBS for available locations." That's generic; we can drop.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So include details about salary offset waiver, expedited process, accelerated training, dual compensation waiver, etc.
Also include note about term appointment: NTE 1/20/2029 or 60th birthday whichever first, minimum one year.
Also include "You may select only two (2) locations where you would be willing to work." That's part of location preference.
Also include "Duty Locations: You will be asked to select your preferred US Border Patrol Sector location:" then list sectors.
Also include "NOTE: Placement will be determined based on current vacancy and operational requirements. Not all stations may be available within your selected Sector at the time of selection."
Also include "For more information on USBP Sectors, click here." That's a link; we can keep as plain text maybe but it's boilerplate? It's a reference; we can keep as part of location section.
Also include "Once onboarded, you'll first be assigned for up to one year to support the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force." That's a duty/assignment detail; could be under duties or schedule. We'll include under duties maybe.
Also include "Visit the D.C. Task Force page for more information." That's maybe boilerplate; we can drop.
