Cyber Mission Specialist (CMS)

We need dedicated, passionate people to protect our systems. As a Cyber Mission Specialist, you’ll protect Coast Guard networks and the nation’s Marine Transportation System from cyber risks. You'll detect and disrupt adversary activities, and your vigilance will ensure the continuity of Coast Guard and national defense missions.
At the current implementation phase of this new rate, you cannot apply to become a CMS until you have advanced to E-4 in another rating. In future phases, new CMSs will receive a 24-week rating course with instruction in basic technical knowledge for cyber operations.
