Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) prints officer designator 184X as “Information Warfare Line Officer · Cyber Warfare Engineer” (billet 1840).
- The row is an identity statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific recommendations are not published here; a CWE officer’s duties depend on billet and Cyber Warfare Engineer program qualification.
