Airmen describing Fusion Analyst
Responsible for acquiring and analyzing information, Fusion Analysts determine the value and implications of intelligence we receive from target network communications. Through research and assessment, these specialists gauge the impact of the information and distribute their findings to high-level decision-makers so we can take timely action to ensure the safety of Airmen and our country.
There are two shreds of 1N4s: A and B.
The A’s deal more with networks and computers. More cyber analysis and digital network intelligence. They might be merging with the 1B4 AFSC which deals more with hands on with malware.
The B’s on the other hand are trained in analysis, production, and reporting. We push reports out to the greater intelligence community.
Though they are different shreds than can be vastly different, it is not uncommon for an A to work a B job and vice versa. The training is also different now: A’s go through about 3 months of training at Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, TX and then go a follow-on 6 months in Pensacola, FL in what is called JCAC: joint cyber analysis course. The B’s only have to go 6 months at Goodfellow. Because our training is longer than most other Air Force tech schools, we are required to sign a 6 year contract. But, there are some perks to a 6 year: you get to sew on A1C after 20 weeks of being in and you are more likely to get stationed at a second unit.
A Fusion Analyst for the Air Force is a specialist responsible for analyzing and interpreting various types of data, including intelligence information, sensor data, and other forms of information, in order to identify and track potential threats to Air Force operations. They may also provide support to other Air Force personnel, including pilots and commanders, by providing them with real-time information and analysis. This role often requires the use of advanced technology and software, as well as the ability to work well under pressure and in a fast-paced environment.
