  • Synchronization of network operations and cyber defense
  • Mission-focused cyber risk and mitigation advice
  • Technical support for network policies and procurements

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Computer and Information Systems Managers

Planning enterprise network operations, integrating information systems across organizations, and managing command cybersecurity programs transfer directly to coordinating civilian IT operations.

How to prepare: Build an unclassified project case study showing how you aligned network operations with mission priorities, coordinated participating organizations, and recommended risk mitigations.

What the civilian work involves
  • Direct daily operations of department, analyzing workflow, establishing priorities, developing standards and setting deadlines.
  • Meet with department heads, managers, supervisors, vendors, and others, to solicit cooperation and resolve problems.
  • Review project plans to plan and coordinate project activity.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Atlassian JIRA

Network and Computer Systems Administrators

Secure implementation of enterprise network operations and operational integration of information systems provide relevant foundations for civilian network and systems administration.

How to prepare: Build a Linux and Microsoft Active Directory lab and document network configuration, access controls, monitoring, and troubleshooting to demonstrate hands-on administration alongside your operational planning experience.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain and administer computer networks and related computing environments, including computer hardware, systems software, applications software, and all configurations.
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve hardware, software, or other network and system problems, and replace defective components when necessary.
  • Operate master consoles to monitor the performance of computer systems and networks and to coordinate computer network access and use.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Linux
  • Microsoft Active Directory
  • Bash
