I don't think a sentence is supposed to end with the word 'for'. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Her technical proficiency was evident by her diligent efforts to manage and monitor such a large number of Cadet Records without the assistant that the battalion’s cadet enrollment calls for.
 
There's a lot going on in that sentence!! I might break it up into 2 sentences. If the person was successful in her efforts, I'd find a way to note that. Also, is this a way of requesting the empty slot be filled?

Maybe something like this:

Her technical proficiency was evident by her success in managing and monitoring such a large number of Cadet Records single-handedly.
 
Without the assistant that the battalion’s cadet enrollment calls for, she proved her technical proficiency through her diligent efforts, managing and monitoring a large number of Cadet Records.

Or

She proved her technical proficiency through her diligent efforts, managing and monitoring a large number of Cadet Records, despite the lack of the assistant mandated by the Battallion's Cadet enrollment.
 
Her technical proficiency was evidenced by her diligent managing and monitoring of a large number of Cadet Records. She did this on her own, despite the battallion's enrollment calling for an assistant.
 

If you only want to get rid of the for at the end:

Her technical proficiency was evident by her diligent efforts to manage and monitor such a large number of Cadet Records without the assistant for which the battalion’s cadet enrollment calls. (or I'd use the word requires instead of calls)

Otherwise, I like how some of the others broke it down.
 
Her technical proficiency was evident by her diligent efforts to manage and monitor such a large number of Cadet Records without the assistant generally required by the substantial enrollment.
 
This sounds like something on a resume... If that's the case, I'd get a bit more specific and "active":

A battalion with an enrollment of "X" cadets typically requires the efforts of one "job title" and an assistant. "Jane Doe" demonstrated her technical proficiency by managing "X number" cadet records without the help of an assistant.
