Compliance with Cyber Mission Force (CMF) training specified in the USCYBERCOM Cyber Mission Forces Training and Readiness Manual; and applicable higher headquarters guidance memoranda for Cyber-Crew Training, Standardization and Evaluation, and Cyberspace Operations, is a condition of employment. Depending on experience and skill levels, portions of the CMF training may require incumbent to perform an extended TDY for a period of 3 to 6 months or longer. The incumbent must achieve and maintain appropriate CMF requirements as specified in Job Qualification Record (JQR) and attain Combat Mission Ready (CMR) certification within 24 months of assignment of these duties. The 867 COG Commander may extend this period only in cases where the member is unable to achieve full Mission Readiness (MR) by the 24 month point through no fault of his/her own. Delays due to an individual's course/certification failures and an individual's failure to plan adequate time to meet all requirements cannot be waivered. The Group Commander's waiver cannot extend beyond the 36-month point. Failure to achieve and maintain CMF requirements may result in removal from this position.

Supervisors will use the CPT crew work role JQR to develop position specific duty standards that align with the duties defined in this PD. While there are variances in the technical duties of the Network Analyst and Host Analyst crew positions, they leverage their role-specific technical expertise/specialties to perform the same duties under this PD. For positions assigned to the National CPTs, the Network Analyst and Host Analyst crew position titles may vary in title but are equivalent. This PD applies to all CPTs regardless of Service, COCOM, or National mission partner alignment. Primary difference between the 13 and 14 level positions are the required experience and knowledge. The 13 position loosely aligns with the CNMF experience qualification model definition of "Senior" while the 14 position aligns more closely with the "Master" level experienced crew member qualification. This does not mean that an individual who attains the crew qualification of master is promoted to a 14 position or that the 13 position is converted to a 14 position. The Basic, Senior, and Master experience designations align with the base-line experience required of an individual occupying a specific position on the crew UMD. The crew rating of Basic, Senior, and Master reflects an individual's experience attained which can be more than is required of the actual PD they occupy. PD is based on mission needs; the experience rating reflects an individual's technical experience. Training required/provided for this position may be 80 hours or longer in duration and may require that the employee sign Continuing Service Agreement (CSA) to attend the course. For all Initial Qualifications Training (IQT), Mission Qualifications Training (MQT) or training required for position-related certification/readiness or continuing education, the employee must accept the CSA as a condition of employment PART-TIME OR UNPAID EXPERIENCE: Credit will be given for appropriate unpaid and or part-time work. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week. VOLUNTEER WORK EXPERIENCE: Refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service Programs (i.e., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student and social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge and skills that can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
