Information Warfare Officers - What We Look For In Lateral Transfers To OUR Community

 

Information Warfare (IW) - (1810). Applicants within this community will be considered from any designator. Primary consideration should be given to sustained superior performers with the skills, education, and background to contribute to the IW core competencies of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Computer Network Operations (CNO).

The IW community has technical leadership opportunities for officers with undergraduate and graduate degrees in the following preferred fields of study: electrical engineering, systems engineering, computer engineering, physics, mathematics, or computer science. Experience and certifications gained outside traditional academic venues should also be recognized and considered by the Board.
