• Managing and maintaining security protocols and software to protect against cyber threats

• Reviewing and analyzing network traffic to identify and resolve issues and potential security breaches

• Collaborating with other teams, such as network engineers and security experts, to design, implement, and maintain Air Force networks

• Performing system upgrades and patches to ensure that Air Force networks and systems are up-to-date and secure

• Participating in training, drills, and exercises to maintain and improve skills

• Providing guidance and training to other Air Force personnel on network administration best practices and procedures

• Participating in classified and unclassified meetings with other cyber transport systems team members and other agencies

It's important to note that depending on the specific role, a typical day may also include different responsibilities.

Cyber Transport Systems Airmen are the IT specialists of the Air Force. They provide mission-critical voice, data, and video services, deploy and operate expeditionary communications systems, and monitor the performance of systems and circuits. Cyber Transport Systems Airmen are also responsible for testing and troubleshooting network systems equipment and circuits. This includes IP detection systems, which identify cybersecurity breaches, as well as cryptographic equipment.
