*Assistant IG NCO Vacancy Memorandum Instructions*
IGs are in the communication business. An IG's ability to communicate effectively verbally and in writing is essential to the success of the IG system. As IGs, you will write to inform your intended audience of something they do not already know, or you will write to defend a particular point of view or finding. In either case, IGs must write to transmit their message clearly and concisely and in a manner and style that is clear and generally free of spelling and grammar errors.
The INNG IG office is requiring applicants to complete a memorandum for the State Inspector General, following the requirements listed in AR 25-50. The State Inspector General will use this document to better understand the applicants' capabilities prior to the interview. The memorandum will have at a minimum:
Military Experience and Background
What Army experience and background do you have that will enhance the IG office?
Intentions to be an IG
Why are you applying to become an IG?
List of Recommendations
Provide a listing of 2-3 points of contact for professional recommendations.
Personal Contact Information
Provide your preferred contact information. This will be how we will contact/communicate with you.
