Before discovering a passion for cybersecurity, U.S. Army Spc. Hunter Chambers, a native of Raleigh, North Carolina, built a diverse military career. He first served as a 74D chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialist, then transitioned to a 42A human resources specialist. Over the past three and a half years, Chambers found his place in the cyber domain.
Now serving with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 60th Troop Command, North Carolina National Guard, Chambers has turned that passion into purpose, helping others with the Department of War’s largest annual cyber defense exercise, Cyber Shield 2026.
