Are you looking to make a difference in security sector reform?

Sincerus is looking for experienced professionals to provide expert advisory services to support the U.S. Department of State's Global Defense Reform Program (GDRP) within the Government of Iraq's (GOI) Security Sector. Through GDRP, the United States seeks to provide three (3) intermittent advisory team members to the GOI's Working Group on Defense and International Security (WG) as part of the GOI's overall security sector reform (SSR) framework. The WG is designed to facilitate Security Sector Reform (SSR) involving the Ministries of Defense (MOD) and Interior (MOI), the Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) and the Office of the National Security Advisor (ONSA) in concert with guidance from the Prime Minister's High Committee on Security Sector Reform (the GOI's SSR Committee) to support the update and implementation of Iraq's new National Security Strategy (NSS).

The GDRP is a US State Department-funded program that, in close coordination with US Department of Defense, focuses on assisting Partner Nations with defense reform and civil-military institutional capacity building efforts. Advisors will serve intermittently during a twelve-month period advising the GOI's MoD, MoI, CTS. During a 12-month period, advisors will serve 4 quarterly cycles. Each cycle will involve 1 month in the U.S., 1 month in Baghdad, and 1 month off.

The intermittent advisory team will work with many key GOI national security organizations; including, but not limited to the MOD, Ministry of Interior, Counter-terrorism Service, and the Office of the National Security Advisor as appropriate, to support a professional, transparent, and efficient organization capable of implementing Iraq's new NSS. Additionally, the intermittent advisory team will coordinate with the European Union Assistance Mission-Iraq, NATO Mission-Iraq, and other international partners as part of the WG, providing effective support and assistance to the GOI.
