The Program – Assistance and Advisory Service (AAS)
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) is NATO’s principal C3 capability deliverer and CIS service provider. It provides, maintains and defends the NATO enterprise‑wide information technology infrastructure to enable Allies to consult together under Article IV, and, when required, stand together in the face of attack under Article V. To provide these critical services, the NCI Agency needs to build and maintain a high‑performance, engaged workforce. The workforce consists of three major categories: NATO International Civilians (NIC), Military (Mil) and Interim Workforce Consultants (IWC). The IWCs are a critical part of the overall workforce and make up approximately 15 percent of the total workforce.
