What this publication covers

This manual identifies DAF cyberspace workforce positions and qualification requirements. It also provides policy on workforce reporting, metrics, and validation, and provides a structure towards moving the Civilian and Military Cyber Workforce toward modernization as provided by the DCWF in accordance with DoDI 8140.02 (resources available on the DoD Cyber Exchange Website at https://www.cyber.mil). The requirements specified in this manual are the minimum required, unless otherwise noted. Commanders and Program Managers are authorized to apply more stringent requirements to reflect specific mission directives and budget constraints.

What changed in this edition

This document is substantially different from its predecessor and should be completely reviewed. Changes include additional positions and requirements placed on all individuals and roles including the Secretary of the Air Force. References from previous versions have been updated or removed, as necessary. This update also includes requirements from DoDD 8140.01 Cyberspace Workforce Management, DoDI 8140.02 Identification, Tracking, and Reporting of Cyberspace Workforce Requirements, and DoDM 8140.03 Cyberspace Workforce Qualification and Management Program. Accordingly, some changes to corresponding terminology were required i.e., changing “Wing Cybersecurity Offices” to “Wing Cyberspace Offices”, and incorporating similar changes for the “United States Space Force Delta Cyberspace Offices”

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
