Notes & Sources
- 1D (Digital Media Collector (DMC)) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Ft Huachuca), effective 2011-11, not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies personnel only requiring qualification as a Digital Media Collector." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete Department Cyber Investigations Training Academy (DCITA) requirements of the following two courses: a." Restrictions: "For use with personnel only with MOS 35L, 35M, 35N, 35P, 35S and 31D." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
