Multi-Domain Warfare Officer was a qualification of the US Air Force beginning in June 2018.[1] Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Gen. David L. Goldfein directed the creation of this specialty and more than 150 officers completed the course.[2] In 2022, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Gen. C.Q. Brown called for the specialty to be ended after only three years, while expanding the concept of multi-domain warfare to the entire officer corps, he said then, “To continue outpacing near-peer adversaries, we must reinforce all Air Force members’ multi-domain expertise.”[3]

Badge

[edit]

The badge was originally to be issued in basic, senior and master,[4][5] but since the career field only lasted for three years - it is likely that very few earned more than the basic badge as officers generally require seven years to earn the senior badge.[4]
