KNOWLEDGE
The Cyber Corps highly values officers with academic backgrounds in specific Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines and majors, but not exclusively. The domain-specific education disciplines listed below provide officers with a greater level of knowledge needed to plan, synchronize, and lead cyberspace operations. Other STEM and liberal arts disciplines and majors are also valued, but should be accompanied with demonstrated, cyber-related technical aptitude.
RELEVANT EDUCATION:
Computer Sciences/Engineering/Information Systems
Electrical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Cyber Security/Operations
Systems Engineering
Data Science
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
Information Technology/Systems/Security
Relevant STEM degree coupled with National/International Government, Policy, or Language Studies
RELEVANT TRAINING/EXPERIENCE:
Cyber Leader Development Program
Cadet Troop Leading Time / Cadet Leader Development Time with cyber-related units
Capture the Flag events
Technology or Cyber Conference participation
Relevant Cyberspace / Cybersecurity focused certifications
Academic enrichment programs within academia, private sector, or government agencies
SKILLS
Cyber Corps officers are adaptive, collaborative, innovative, intellectually curious, and passionate leaders, capable of applying the art and science of the profession of arms within the cyberspace domain and electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) to plan, synchronize, integrate, and execute cyberspace and electronic warfare (EW) operations. They must be technically superior and technologically adept, understanding the cyberspace domain and EMS in a multi-dimensional sense to leverage leading-edge technologies and technically-skilled teams to provide operational commanders a unique effects-based capability for defending our nation against emerging threats. They must effectively articulate cyberspace and EW operational capabilities to commanders, as well as, integrate those capabilities to create effects during multi-domain operations in support of unified land operations at all echelons. They must also be lifelong learners to continue developing expertise as leaders in their field and to be highly adaptive within an emerging technological environment.
