The United States Navy's Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) is one of the learning centers of Naval Education and Training Command, headquartered on Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station in Escambia County, Florida. It is responsible for the development of education and training policies for over 26,000 members of the Information Warfare Corps in the fields of cryptology and intelligence, along with the cyber realms of information operations and technology, and computer systems and networks.[1] The center also oversees Language, Regional Expertise and Culture.
The Center administers about 200 courses across the globe with an average of 4,000 students attending daily courses and an annual student count of roughly 26,000, with a staff of nearly 1,200 military, civilian and contracted staff.[2]
All of CIWT's learning sites operate under one of four "schoolhouse commands, each which specializes in a different concentration. Each schoolhouse has its own leadership team (CO/XO/CMC) and operates independently of one another.
