• Provide authorized hands‑on support for TACLANE/Type‑1 devices and CDS components: configuration backups, firmware, connectivity testing, logging, and restoration. Coordinate keying, fill, CIK/token, and zeroize with appointed COMSEC personnel. Do not freelance CDS filter/policy changes.

• Handle CCI/COMSEC‑associated equipment within training and authorization. Maintain accountability of assigned CCI. Report suspected loss, compromise, tampering, or inventory discrepancy immediately. This billet is not the COMSEC Account Manager/CRO unless separately appointed.
