Which of the following is not listed as a Special Warfare Airmen category?

• A. Pararescue (PJ)
• B. Combat Rescue Officer
• C. Cyber Warfare Operator
• D. Special Reconnaissance

Answer: (C)

Special Warfare Airmen are those who perform high-risk, field-based rescue, reconnaissance, and direct-action tasks in challenging environments. The categories that fit this group include Pararescuemen, who provide medical rescue and care in combat zones; Combat Rescue Officers, who plan and lead rescue missions; and Special Reconnaissance specialists, who conduct covert surveillance and intelligence gathering. A Cyber Warfare Operator, however, lives in the cyberspace operations career field, focusing on protecting and exploiting networks rather than performing field rescue or in-theater reconnaissance. That’s why Cyber Warfare Operator is not listed as a Special Warfare Airman category.
