<strong>Army</strong> Civilian <strong>Space</strong> Cadre<br />
The <strong>Army</strong> recognizes that DoD Civilians<br />
are a critical space resource <strong>and</strong>, in many<br />
cases, have as much or more experience<br />
than their military counterparts. Many<br />
Civilians spend much of their careers in<br />
space positions <strong>and</strong> it is the <strong>Army</strong>’s goal<br />
to track this expertise <strong>and</strong> offer cadre<br />
members continuing education <strong>and</strong> training<br />
opportunities. Additionally, we want<br />
to recognize these Civilians for their<br />
contributions.<br />
With over 370 civilians currently<br />
identified, the <strong>Army</strong> <strong>Space</strong> Personnel<br />
Development Office tracks <strong>Space</strong> cadre<br />
positions <strong>and</strong> individuals using the <strong>Space</strong><br />
Cadre Database. Positions are nominated,<br />
approved, <strong>and</strong> coded on authorization<br />
documents. Personal data is<br />
collected using a Civilian <strong>Space</strong> Cadre<br />
Questionnaire that collects information<br />
on a cadre member’s <strong>Space</strong> education,<br />
training, <strong>and</strong> experience. Once the questionnaire<br />
is submitted, the <strong>Army</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />
Cadre Office awards a <strong>Space</strong> Cadre Pin<br />
<strong>and</strong> Certificate based on the individual’s<br />
level of space certification.<br />
