- ACTIVITY
- Separate organizational components at various levels of command within a Military Department. (Appendix B)
ADMINISTRATIVE DISQUALIFICATION- Action taken upon a finding that an applicant for employment in a CIPMS position lacks fitness indicated by his/her character, conduct, and/or reputation. (Chapter 3)
ADMINISTRATIVE CAREER PATH- Levels within occupations involving work in which decisions and courses of action require the exercise of analytical ability, judgment, discretion, personal responsibility, and the application of a substantial body of knowledge of underlying concepts, theories, and principles applicable to the field. While these positions do not require specialized academic fields of study, they do involve skills (for example, analytical, research, writing, and judgment skills) typically gained through college-level education or through progressively responsible experience. (Chapter 2 and Appendix B)
CAREER LADDER- A range of grades within an occupation or specialty which allows for a progressive increase of responsibility and employee competency. Career ladders may be limited to a single grade band or may cover multiple grade bands. Progression through a career ladder from one grade level to another, as well as from one grade band to another, is dependent upon management discretion, the availability of funds and position management approvals, as well as employee mobility, acquisition of competencies, and individual Job performance.
CAREER PATH- A model reflecting the common career progression pattern of related groups of series or specialties. Career paths reflect the normal combination of grades into successive grade bands for the series or specialties associated with that path. Professional, Administrative, Technician, and Clerical career paths have been established. (Chapter 2 and Appendix B)
CIPMS ADVISORY GROUP- An advisory body to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel) (ASD (FM&P)) on CIPMS matters. This group is chaired by a representative designated by ASD (FM&P) and includes representation from ASD (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence)(ASD (C3I)), as well as representation from both the personnel and intelligence communities of the Amy, Navy, and Air Force. (Chapters 1 and 9)
CLERICAL CAREER PATH- Levels within occupations involving work accomplished to support an office or program to include the processing and maintenance of records and materials that represent the transactions or business of the organization. The work is generally performed within a structured framework of instructions, procedures, and/or working knowledge related to the tasks to be performed. (Chapter 2 and Appendix B)
CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT- Mandatory requirement or precondition for holding a position that is in addition to knowledge, skills, abilities, and/or educational qualification requirements. (Chapter 3)
DUAL CAREER TRACK- Progression for both supervisory and/or managerial and non-supervisory positions in the occupational specialties.. (Chapter 2)

(Chapters 1 and 9)

FUNCTIONAL CHIEF- The Senior Intelligence Officer (SIO) of each Department; that is, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (DCSINT) for the Amy, the Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI) for the Navy, and the Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence (ACS/I) for the Air Force. (Chapter 1)
GRADE BAND- Consists of two or more grades denoting a common level of difficulty, responsibility, and qualification requirements of the work or a common level of knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the work (e.g., Entry Level, Full Performance Level, Expert Level, etc.). (Chapter 2)

POSITION MANAGEMENT- The process whereby managers assign duties, and responsibilities to positions and the structuring of these positions to form an organization that provides for effective and economical mission accomplishment, organizational enhancement, career development, and other management goals. (Chapter 2)
PRIMARY GRADING STANDARD- A document prescribing the method of evaluating supervisory and nonsupervisory positions in the General Schedule (GS) according to predetermined factors and predetermined weights for various degrees of those factors. The CIPMS Primary Grading Standard provides the primary guidance for grading CIPMS positions in the GS but may be supplemented by Military service Occupational Guides. Office of Personnel Management Classification Standards may be utilized in place of the CIPMS Primary Grading Standard under some conditions. (Chapter 2 and Appendix B)
PROFESSIONAL CAREER PATH- Levels within occupations involving work in which decisions and courses of action require the exercise of discretion, judgment, and personal responsibility for the application of an organized body of knowledge that is constantly studied to make new discoveries and interpretations and to improve the data, materials, methods, and means. These positions require knowledge in a field of science or learning characteristically acquired through education or training equivalent to a college degree with major study directly in or pertinent to the specialized field or acquired through professional experience in the field. (Chapter 2 and Appendix B)

(Chapter 5)
TECHNICIAN CAREER PATH- Levels within occupations involving non-routine technical work typically associated with and supportive of a professional or administrative field to include responsibility for direct "program" decisions but less than full competence in the field involved. The work is generally performed by applying clearly appropriate guidelines or knowledge of precedent action to a corresponding situation and it requires extensive practical knowledge, gained through on-the-job experience and/or specific training less than that represented by formal attainment of an academic degree.
