A typical day working in cyber warfare operations in the Air Force may vary depending on the specific job and the current operational environment. However, generally, it may involve:

  • Monitoring and analyzing computer networks for potential threats and vulnerabilities

  • Identifying and responding to cyber-attacks on Air Force networks and systems

  • Developing and implementing plans to protect Air Force networks and systems from cyber-attacks

  • Collaborating with other military branches, federal agencies, and industry partners to share information and coordinate responses to cyber threats

  • Keeping up to date with the latest tools, techniques, and threats in the field of cyber security and cyber warfare

  • Participating in training, drills, and exercises to maintain and improve skills

  • Providing guidance and training to other Air Force personnel on cyber security best practices and procedures

  • Performing incident response and investigations of security incidents

  • Participating in classified and unclassified meetings with other cyber warfare operations team members and other agencies

It's important to note that depending on the specific role, a typical day may also include different responsibilities.

A Cyber Warfare Operator is trained and is capable of providing offensive and defensive measures to maintain our Cyber Dominance stance. They hunt down cyber threats on their network, secure out networks from attacks, and also employ cyber attacks to foreign assets. Cyber Warfare Operators support cyberspace capability development, testing and implementation. They also partner with Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational forces to detect, deny or manipulate adversarial access to sovereign national cyberspace systems.
