8055 - Information Management Officer (IMO)

Summary

Information Management Officers enable efficient information assimilation, sharing, and collaboration to facilitate the commander’s decision-making ability, staff synchronization, and cross functional area coordination.

To determine information management requirements, Information Management Officers need to conduct a detailed analysis of the information exchange requirements of the commander, supported staff functions and processes, and attached units.

To determine the technical requirements and associated C2 support structure, Information Management Officers must be familiar with characteristics of command-and-control systems including hardware, software, configuration, and cybersecurity requirements necessary for employment and fuse their knowledge of technical system with information exchange requirements.

Information Management Officers work with the commander and staff functional areas to identify, integrate, and devise solutions to gaps and seams within and across staff processes.

Information Management Officers will also be able to leverage process improvement techniques as well as technology to develop innovative and effective solutions to mission requirements.

Information Management Officers identify, leverage, and design collaborative capabilities, competencies, services, and tools that best support the commander and staff section during the decision-making process.

They interact with subordinate commanders and Staff Officers throughout the command and across the war fighting functions (intelligence, fires, maneuver, logistics, C2, and force protection).

This MOS will be assigned as a FMOS only and is assigned to any unrestricted officer.
