If you are excluding flight jobs, Combat Controller, TACP, Special Recon and PJ's. If you are generous, you might include Air Force Security.

There are 4 USAF special warfare career fields. Combat Controller, Para Rescue, Tactical Air Control Party, and the less seldom heard of Special Reconnaissance. There are also combat support career fields such as Combat Camera, Special Operations Weather Team and a couple others but I don't recall them right now. Office of Special Investigation also operates outside the wire often though not really in a Spec Ops/Combat role per say. Quite a few years ago Security Forces took over air base defense rolls outside the wire that traditionally were done by Army or Marine units. Of course that depends on location and operation. The USAF actually spent quite a few years sending folks through joint training with the Army between Little Rock AFB and Ft. Polk called Joint Readiness Training Center to help train us how to perform air base defense. I haven't heard of us doing that still in years but it was fun for me since I was just a mechanic.

For some better details on the special warfare careers here's a link.
