Space Force AFSC List 2026: ASVAB MAGE Scores for 26 Guardian Jobs

Every Space Force enlisted job needs an AFQT of 36 to qualify (higher with a GED), then a MAGE composite percentile that ranges from G 24 (3F1X1) up to G 72 for Signals Intelligence Analyst. The chart below lists the published MAGE requirement for 26 Guardian AFSCs we have verified data for, sortable by score, career field, or AFQT.

The Space Force is the smallest and youngest branch, and its job list reflects that: it is overwhelmingly intelligence, cyber, space operations, and the engineering and administrative roles that support them. There is no infantry, no aviation maintenance in the traditional sense. Every one of those career fields runs on the same four-composite MAGE system the Air Force uses, since the Space Force was built directly out of Air Force personnel and career fields in 2019.

Space Force AFSC List: 26 Guardian Jobs and Their MAGE Requirements

Every row comes from the same dataset the Space Force ASVAB calculator scores against. Sort by required score to see where the barriers cluster, or by career field to compare AFSCs in the same specialty. Two composites joined by · mean both are required at once (a handful of engineering AFSCs work this way); a single composite means that's the only published gate.

How Space Force MAGE Scoring Works

Signals Intelligence Analyst needs a General composite of 72. The maximum AFQT is 99. Both numbers come off the same ASVAB, but AFQT decides whether the Space Force will take you at all, while MAGE decides which AFSC you can actually select.

The four MAGE composite formulas

WK (Word Knowledge) and PC (Paragraph Comprehension) together form what other branches call VE (Verbal Expression); the Space Force formulas above use them individually. AR (Arithmetic Reasoning) and MK (Mathematics Knowledge) feed the most composites, so they carry the most leverage if you are unsure which career field you want yet. Unlike Army line scores, MAGE composites are reported as percentiles (1-99), not raw standard-score sums, which is why they can't be checked the same way a line score can.

Space Force Career Fields at a Glance

The 26 AFSCs on this chart split across six career fields. Use the table above for exact numbers; the notes below show where the score barriers cluster.

• Intelligence (1N series). The highest and most consistent General requirements in the Space Force: Signals Intelligence Analyst (G 72), Geospatial Intelligence Analyst (G 66), Fusion Analyst (G 62), and All Source Intelligence Analyst (G 57). TS/SCI eligibility is required alongside the ASVAB minimum.
• Space operations. Space Systems Operations (1C6X1) is the highest Electronics requirement on the chart at E 70, reflecting the satellite-tracking and orbital-systems work.
• Cyber and IT (1B, 1D, 3D, 3C series). Cyber Warfare and Cyber Defense Operations sit at G 64; Cyber Transport Systems needs E 70. All require some level of security clearance.
• Engineering (3E series). The widest score range in the force, from Pavement and Construction Equipment (M 40) up to Electrical Power Production (M 56). Several of these are the only AFSCs on this chart with two composites required at once, such as Electrical Systems (E 35 · M 35).
• Administrative and logistics. Personnel, Contracting, and Financial Management run on the Administrative (A) composite; Materiel Management and Air Transportation combine A and G. Services (3F1X1) has the single lowest requirement on the chart at G 24.
• Security. Special Investigations (7S0X1) sits at G 44, similar to its Air Force counterpart career fields.
