defence administration officertoarmy general
A defence administration officer already meets 39% of what the army general role asks for. The move turns on 6 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 56.2 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the army general role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the defence administration officer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A army general role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a defence administration officer background worth leading with.
- already held manage military logistics management skills
- already held military logistics business, administration and law
- already held monitor military equipment use information skills
- already held ensure information security assisting and caring
- already held military code services
- already held manage administrative systems management skills
All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the army general role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a army general role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 analyse potential threats against national security skill · sector specific
- 02 defend human rights skill · sector specific
- 03 develop defence policies skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
