GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose.  This MARADMIN is to solicit qualified Marines to apply for a lateral move into primary MOS 0211, CI/HUMINT Specialist for Fiscal Year 2024. Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) has categorized the 0211 MOS as a critical career force skill shortage. The demand for qualified Marines to lateral move to this MOS will remain high for the foreseeable future.
2. Background. CI/HUMINT Specialists perform sensitive and complex intelligence operations in support of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) during garrison and deployed operations.  They identify threats posed by hostile intelligence organizations or persons engaged in espionage, sabotage, subversion, or terrorism. Marines also collect information of intelligence value through interrogation, debriefing, screening, and/or liaison operations.  They can deploy with a MAGTF, other Services, and interagency partners to protect personnel, property, and national security information. 
2.a. CI/HUMINT Marines directly contribute to the success of the Marine Corps mission. While the requisite technical and operational skills are learned through training, there are certain innate qualities which CI/HUMINT Specialists must possess.  CI/HUMINT Marines must have outstanding communication skills which enable them to interact with a wide variety of people under any circumstance.  Intellect, flexibility, creativity, and diverse cultural experience are invaluable traits of CI/HUMINT Marines.  The MOS requires a layered depth of character, morality, and maturity, and mission success relies heavily on interpersonal skills.  Accordingly, Marines who apply for lateral move must have first proven themselves as high-quality Marines. 
2.b. CI/HUMINT Marines undergo extensive training, operating both independently and as small teams in support of MAGTF/Joint Forces.  In addition to entry level training and specialized follow-on intelligence courses, CI/HUMINT Marines have the opportunity to attend survival and airborne training, advanced driving and shooting courses, and other training courses related to tactical, operational, and strategic operations.
2.c. CI/HUMINT Marines serve in both the Active and Reserve Components. During a career, they may be assigned to the Marine Corps Fleet Marine Force, Supporting Establishment, Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Defense Intelligence Agency, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Combatant Commands, and other unique billets.
2.d. CI/HUMINT lateral move applicants must meet the following criteria:
2.d.1. Must be a volunteer Corporal or Sergeant of any MOS. Exceptionally qualified Lance Corporals and Staff Sergeants may be screened for lateral move on a case-by-case basis.
2.d.2. Must be a United States (U.S.) citizen.
2.d.3. Must possess a minimum General Technical score of 105, OR a minimum Clerical score of 105, OR a minimum Armed Forces Qualification Test score of 55.
2.d.4. Must meet sensitive compartmented information eligibility guidelines based on a single scope background investigation/T5 investigation.
2.d.5. Must be 21 years of age or older prior to graduation from the MAGTF CI/HUMINT Course.
2.d.6. Must be willing to submit to a Counterintelligence-scope Polygraph Examination.
2.d.7. Must possess a valid U.S. driver's license.
2.d.8. Must be worldwide deployable when approved for lateral move.
2.d.9. Must have 60 months obligated service upon lateral move approval.
2.e. CI/HUMINT Specialists serve a critical role within the Reserve Component (RC).  To be eligible for PMOS 0211 in the RC, Marines must meet the following criteria:
2.e.1. Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR). Marines must affiliate with or be a current member of an SMCR Unit.
2.e.2. Individual Mobilization Augmentee. Marines must be affiliated with a SMCR unit.
2.e.3. Individual Ready Reserve. Marines must be discharged from the Active Component or Selected Reserve under honorable conditions.
2.e.4. Direct Affiliation Program (DAP). Active Component or Active Reserve Marines can apply for lateral move into PMOS 0211 within the RC via the DAP. They must be released under honorable conditions.
2.e.5. RC Marines must sign a Statement of Understanding accepting the requirements and conduct of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders to attend PMOS 0211 entry level training.
2.e.6. MARADMIN 279/20 and MARADMIN 470/22 provides additional Reserve-related lateral move information.
2.e.7. Marines approved for lateral move into the 0211 MOS may rate a substantial selective retention bonus (SRB). For example, a qualified Sergeant who lateral moves into PMOS 0211 and agrees to serve 72-months will qualify for both a $65,000 MOS-specific bonus and the $40,000 kicker for a total of $105,000.  Upon successful completion of MOS training and subsequent award of PMOS 0211, bonus payment will be paid based upon the SRB amount authorized at the time of reenlistment.
3. Execution. Interested Marines are encouraged to visit the Marine Corps PMOS 0211 website at https:(slash)(slash)www.intelligence.marines.mil/careers to obtain additional information on the MOS. They should contact their Career Planner or Prior Service Recruiter to initiate the lateral move process. Eligible Marines must complete reference (d) which includes a screening and suitability assessment process. Marines are required to be interviewed by a panel of only Marine Corps CI/HUMINT personnel and receive a lateral move recommendation. 
3.a. Marines approved for lateral move by M&RA will execute PCS or permanent change of assignment orders to Marine Detachment Dam Neck for the MAGTF CI/HUMINT Course, Marine Corps Intelligence Schools located in Virginia Beach, VA.
3.b. This MARADMIN is applicable to the Total Force.
