The course includes education and training on the areas associated with the duties and responsibilities of the Electromagnetic Warfare Specialist. Topics include: understanding the evolution of Electromagnetic Warfare (EW); how to analyze the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS); and understanding Army Cyberspace, Spectrum Management, and Intelligence Doctrine as they apply to EW Operations. Students will understand and apply EW mathematics and physics to electronics and the EMS. Soldiers will use EMS theory to understand the characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of friendly and advisory EW military elements. Participants will learn the principles of Electromagnetic Protection (EP), Electromagnetic Attack (EA), and Electromagnetic Support (ES). The course provides Soldiers with the knowledge to protect network infrastructure using EW systems in order to provide dominance of the EMS in all environments.

Career Path:

This course includes education and training on the functional areas associated with the duties and responsibilities of the Cyber Operations Specialist. Topics included provide an understanding of Offensive Cyberspace Operations (OCO) and Defensive Cyberspace Operations (DCO) in order to support the full range of military operations by executing actions and generating effects across multiple domains. Participants of the course will learn how to integrate and synchronize OCO and DCO strategies with other lethal and nonlethal actions to enable commanders to mass effects and gain advantage in cyberspace and across other domains. Soldiers will learn technical skills in order to directly or indirectly support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) by employing devices, computer programs, or techniques, including combinations of software, firmware, or hardware designed to create an effect in or through cyberspace.
