PART I

Preface

1. The dynamic nature of the Cyberspace landscape necessitates foresight, readiness,

and vigilance to ensure that Airmen possess the required expertise, skillset, and

resources to deliver vital cyberspace capabilities for today's Air Force mission while

preparing for the challenges of tomorrow's highly competitive arena. The growing focus

on Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) and Information Operations

aligns with the rapid pace of change. This transition from functionally stove-piped

AFSCs to a consolidated mission-driven capability model fosters greater synergy and

effectiveness. This Cyber Defense Operations Career Field Education and Training Plan

(CFETP) outlines the foundational life cycle education and training requirements,

resources, and core tasks for each specialization within this new framework. The

CFETP offers Airmen a well-defined career trajectory, instilling rigor in all facets of

career field training. As a talent management instrument, the CFETP ensures the

effective development and administration of Airmen required for high-end combat

scenarios. By promoting collaboration across the newly consolidated cyber career

fields, the CFETP encourages Airmen to hone their skills, adapt, and expedite change to

optimally serve the Air Force, Combatant Commanders, and our nation.

Note: Civilians occupying associated positions will use Part II to support duty

position qualification training.

2. There are two parts of the Cyber Defense Operations CFETP. Part I describes the

overall Air Force Specialty (AFS) management and description of the career path. Part

II provides core tasks and reference materials.

2.1. Part I provides information for the management of the specialty family. Section A:

explains how Cyber Defense Operations Airmen and their supervisors will use the plan;

Section B: identifies career field progression, duties, responsibilities, training strategies, and

career field paths; Section C: associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge,

education, experience, training, and other); Section D: indicates resource constraints (e.g.,

funds, manpower, equipment, facilities); and Section E: identifies transition training guide

requirements for SSgt through MSgt.

2.2. Part II includes the following: Section A: identifies the Specialty Training Standards

(STS), the duties, tasks, and Training References (TRs) to support core task training such as

AirEducation Training Command (AETC) training, wartime course and correspondence

course requirements; Section B: contains the Course Objectives List (COL) and training

standards supervisors will use to determine if Cyber Defense Operations Airmen have

satisfied training requirements; Section C: identifies support materials, e.g., Qualification

Training Package (QTP); Section D: identifies a training course index which includes both

mandatory and optional courses; and Section E: identifies MAJCOM-unique training

requirements supervisors can use to determine additional training required for the associated

qualification needs. At the unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify,

plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall mission goals.

3. The CFETP is the overarching guide for the 1D7XX/X career field and provides the

foundation for effective and efficient training for Cyber Defense Operations Airmen in

each 1D7XX/X shred at the appropriate points in their careers. This plan enables the Air

Force to train today's work force for tomorrow's technology.
