Supervisors will use the CPT crew work role JQR to develop position specific duty standards that align with the duties defined in this PD. While there are variances in the technical duties of the Network Analyst, Host Analyst, and Cyber Threat Analyst crew positions, they leverage their role-specific technical expertise/specialties to perform the same duties under this PD.
For positions assigned to the National CPTs, the Network Analyst, Host Analyst and Cyber Threat Analyst crew position titles may vary in title, but are equivalent. This PD applies to all CPTs regardless of Service, COCOM, or National mission partner alignment. This position is emergency essential (E-E).
The incumbent must meet all requirements of E-E positions and may be required, as a condition of employment, to take a series of vaccinations and annual boosters to immunize against anthrax and other diseases.

This position cannot be vacated during a national emergency or mobilization without seriously impairing the capability of the organization to function effectively. This meets the criteria of an E-E position and requires that the incumbent or designated alternate to be removed from any military recall status. The primary difference between the 12 and 13 level positions are the required experience and knowledge.
The 12 position loosely aligns with the CMF experience model definition of "Basic" while the 13 position aligns more closely with the "Senior" level experienced crew member qualification. This does not mean that an individual who attains the crew qualification of Senior is promoted to a 13 position or that the 12 position is converted to a 13 position.
The Basic, Senior and Master experience designations align with the base-line experience required of an individual occupying a specific position on the crew UMD. The crew rating of Basic, Senior and Master reflects and individual's experience attained which can be more than is required of the actual PD they occupy. PD is based on mission needs; the experience rating is a reflection of an individual's technical experience.

Incumbents of key positions must be removed from their military recall status if alternative for filling of the position during an emergency are not available.

The incumbent must achieve and maintain appropriate CMF requirements as specified in Job Qualification Record (JQR) and attain Combat Mission Ready (CMR) certification within 18 months of assignment of these duties.

The Group Commander's waiver cannot extend beyond the 30-month point.
Failure to achieve and maintain CMF requirements may result in removal from this position. If an employee obtains CMR but later loses his/her certification and is unable to regain certification, or the employee repeatedly regains and subsequently loses CMR in less than three-years' time, the employee will be considered in violation of the CMR condition of employment.
