In addition, DoDM 8140.03 takes a targeted, role-based approach to ensure DoD cyber workforce requirements meet both position and mission needs. Finally, DoDM 8140.03 was designed with flexibility in mind. It allows personnel to leverage varied development pathways, while ensuring organizations are empowered to maintain their own unique requirements based on operational demands.
