UNCLASSIFIED Cyberspace Domain Cyberspace is a global domain within the information environment consisting of the interdependent network of information technology infrastructures and resident data, including the Internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems, and embedded processors and controllers (JP 3 -12). The Army performs cyberspace operations and supporting activities within this domain as part of joint and Army operations (FM 3 -12). Source: FM 3 -12, Apr 2017 Source: FM 3 -0, Operations, Sep 2017 Do. D will treat cyberspace as an operational domain …. so that Do. D can take full advantage of cyberspace’s potential. (DOD Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace, 2011) UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED Electromagnetic Spectrum • The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation from zero to infinity. It is divided into 26 alphabetically designated bands. (JP 3 -13. 1) Sample devices • The equipment (e. g. , devices) that utilize the electromagnetic spectrum may also utilize cyberspace (e. g. , a smart phone in the wireless mode). Analysis of the EMS and Cyberspace during planning provides a more holistic understanding of opportunities and risks that present during execution. UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED Cyber INTELLIGENCES: Logical-Mathematical, Spatial, Interpersonal 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. 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 Science/Engineering/Information Systems; Electrical Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Cyber UNCLASSIFIED

UNCLASSIFIED Cyber Corps Career Field 17 Overview 17 A Cyber Operations Officer 17 B Electronic Warfare Officer Cyber Operations Officers lead, plan, and direct both offensive and defensive cyberspace maneuver and effects operations in and through the cyberspace war fighting domain to ensure freedom of action. Execute mission command of cyber maneuver forces during Offensive Cyberspace Operations (OCO) and Defensive Cyberspace Operations (DCO) missions in support of Joint and combined arms operations. Provide coordination for employment of cyber maneuver forces at all levels of joint, Army and coalition commands. Electronic Warfare Officers (EWO) serve as the principal staff officer, at all echelons, for Electronic Warfare (EW) and Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) leveraged to seize, retain, and exploit an advantage over adversaries in both cyberspace and the Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum, while simultaneously denying and degrading adversary use of the same. Integrate, coordinate, and synchronize all cyberspace effects related functions and capabilities. Plan, coordinate, and assess electronic attack, electronic protect, and EW support requirements in support of Unified Land Operations. UNCLASSIFIED 17 D Cyber Capabilities Development Officers (CCDOs) lead, direct, manage, plan, integrate, synchronize, and/or execute capabilities development for CO and EW at brigade, division, corps, Army, and JIM levels. The 17 D provides cyberspace capabilities to support DCO, OCO, DODIN operations, and/or EW missions and actions, including designing, developing, and delivering relevant, timely, and effective software and hardware solutions.
