This position cannot be vacated during a national emergency or mobilization without seriously impairing the capability of the organization to function effectively. This meets the criteria of an E-E position and requires that the incumbent be removed from any military recall status.

Current CPT Combat Mission Ready (CMR) individuals, regardless of civilian series are considered qualified to serve under this PD as long as the member has met other conditions of employment and civilian grade requirements. A signed memo from the 867 COG Group Commander stating the member is CMR along with IQT, MQT and CMR dates is sufficient documentation to meet this requirement.

This position is Emergency-Essential (E-E). The incumbent of this position must meet all requirements of E-E positions and may be required as a condition of employment to take a series of vaccinations and annual boosters to immunize against anthrax and other diseases. During a crisis, the incumbent must continue to perform the E-E duties until relieved by proper authority. The incumbent may be required to take part in readiness exercises. This position cannot be vacated during a national emergency or mobilization without seriously impairing the capability of the organization to function effectively. This meets the criteria of an E-E position and requires that the incumbent be removed from any military recall status.

Information Assurance Certification is a condition of employment. This position includes information assurance (IA) work as a paramount duty requirement. IA Technician Level is required IAW the USCYBERCOM CPT JQR for this position (Host Analyst, Network Analyst). Per DODM 8140.03, the incumbent of this position must achieve the appropriate IA certification within six months of assignment of these duties. The point at which a member is deemed "assigned these duties" coincides with completion of requisite Initial Qualifications and Special Skills Training, but must be completed before being Combat Mission Ready (CMR) as IAT-III is a required for CMR. Failure to receive the proper IA certification, and/or CMR within 24 months of assignment may result in removal from this position and/or termination
of employment.

Duty Standards are derived from USCYBERCOM's CPT 2.0 Crew Construct. 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.

The 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.
