Abstract
This paper suggests the major educational components of a curriculum that is designed to educate individuals for job assignments as Information Assurance professionals — also known as: cyber warriors. It suggests a minimum common body of knowledge for all cyber warriors along with two major specialization categories: cyber tacticians and cyber strategists. The paper describes the distinction between tactician and strategist and offers a rough outline of the education each should receive.
