Summary of changes, as printed

This document is substantially different from its predecessor and should be completely reviewed. Changes include additional positions and requirements placed on all individuals and roles including the Secretary of the Air Force. References from previous versions have been updated or removed, as necessary. This update also includes requirements from DoDD 8140.01 Cyberspace Workforce Management, DoDI 8140.02 Identification, Tracking, and Reporting of Cyberspace Workforce Requirements, and DoDM 8140.03 Cyberspace Workforce Qualification and Management Program. Accordingly, some changes to corresponding terminology were required i.e., changing “Wing Cybersecurity Offices” to “Wing Cyberspace Offices”, and incorporating similar changes for the “United States Space Force Delta Cyberspace Offices”.
