Kelly Aeschbach, commander of Naval Information Forces and the Navy\u2019s Information Boss, told reporters Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Maritime Cyber Warfare Officer is really going to take the offensive and defensive operating components out of those two designators and provide us with someone who can focus full time on how we maneuver on the net,\u201d Aeschbach said. \u201cAnd they will lead teams that are delivering our capabilities that are hunting forward\u2026through cyber commands techniques on how we protect our interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat will alleviate the demand we were putting on other designators that already have really tremendous responsibilities,\u201d Aeschbach said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2023\/02\/15\/a-new-cyber-rating-is-in-the-works\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ctn2.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">A new Navy \u2018cyber\u2019 rating is in the works<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The new rating will replace cryptologic technician networks and it&#039;s name will include &quot;cyber.&quot; Expect more details later this year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aeschbach said that those in the new rating and designator would predominantly be assigned to shore billets such as staff positions and leadership positions, and instructor billets. However, she said there would be increased opportunities to serve at sea as both the rating and designator mature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Applications for redesignation for officers are open for the next 90 days as part of a lateral transfer for Information Warfare Officer qualified line officers with documented cyber-focused training. Redesignation applications from all communities will commence in February 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe also will start taking direct accessions next year, where we will have quotas at the Naval Academy, across the NROTC, and also for Officer Candidate School,\u201d Aeschbach said. \u201cSo we can also afford new folks coming in the Navy the opportunity to compete to go directly into the designator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy is aiming to fill approximately 300 officer billets for the new designator over the next two years, with the possibility of expanding to up to 500 billets over time, Aeschbach said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2022\/10\/28\/us-navy-hunting-for-info-warfare-experts-aeschbach-tells-old-crows\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7421029.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Navy hunting for info warfare experts, Aeschbach tells Old Crows<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Information warfare combines data awareness and manipulation to gain an advantage \u2014 before, during and after battles.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to be just a lot of discussion in terms of mentoring, how we advise folks, whether they\u2019re good candidates, and how we get this initial group of officers established by the end of the year, so we can start focusing on their identity\u2026and the kind of training they need to excel over time,\u201d Aeschbach told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the new enlisted rating will absorb all the billets and personnel assigned to the Cryptologic Technician-Networks rating, accounting for more than 2,000 sailors. Given that more than 90% of the work sailors assigned to the CTN rating conducted was already classified as cyber, Aeschbach said the new rating more accurately describes the cyber roles that those assigned to the CTN rating were already completing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, the service guaranteed that doing so will not negatively impact the careers of those in the CTN rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring the process of establishing the CWT rating, we have been committed to a \u2018do no harm\u2019 approach to CTN Sailors,\u201d NAVIFOR Force Master Chief Laura Nunley said in a Navy news release. \u201cNo Sailor\u2019s advancement opportunity or Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) will be affected by this rating establishment. All rating specific incentive pays currently entitled to CTN Sailors will be awarded to CWT Sailors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nunley told reporters Friday that the Navy is examining ways to expand opportunities for sailors to cross-rate into the CWT rating, as well as recruiting efforts to bring new sailors into the rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Creating the cyber warfare technician rating stems from requirements included in the National Defense Authorization Act approved in December 2022, and was crafted with input from leaders within the CTN rating, Nunley said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new rating and designator will predominantly be assigned to shore billets such as staff
