- Support Government-led preparation for congressional hearings, staff engagements, briefings, visits, meetings, and other approved engagements involving Members of Congress, congressional committees, congressional staff, or executive-branch stakeholders.
- Develop background materials, fact sheets, legislative trackers, congressional calendars, stakeholder profiles, issue matrices, and coordination packages in support of DASN (DIB) priorities.
- Maintain legislative taskers, correspondence-status trackers, action-item trackers, suspense calendars, and records of Government-led engagement activities.
- Support coordination of draft legislative products with DASN (DIB) directorates, ASN (RD&A) offices, DON acquisition organizations, legislative-affairs offices, public-affairs offices, legal offices, financial-management organizations, Department of War stakeholders, and other Government-approved points of contact.
