GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. This MARADMIN is to solicit qualified Marines to apply for a lateral move into Primary Military Occupational Specialty (PMOS) 0211, Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence (CI/HUMINT) Specialist for Fiscal Year 2025. Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) has categorized the 0211 MOS as a high-demand, low-density MOS and the need 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) and other supported commanders in both garrison and deployed environments. They identify threats posed by hostile intelligence organizations or persons engaged in terrorism, espionage, sabotage, or subversion. Marines also collect information of intelligence value through counterintelligence activities and HUMINT operations, which include interrogation, debriefing, screening, and liaison. They have the opportunity to deploy with a MAGTF, other Services, and interagency partners to illuminate global threats and 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. An 0211’s mission success relies heavily on interpersonal skills, a layered depth of character, morality, and maturity. 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, or interagency partners. In addition to entry level training and specialized follow-on intelligence courses, CI/HUMINT Marines can attend survival and airborne training, advanced driving and shooting courses, and other 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. Marines must meet the prerequisites within the approved MOS manual to be qualified for PMOS 0211 lateral move. Waivers to any prerequisites must be submitted to and approved by the 02XX Occupational Field Manager. Marines must be a volunteer corporal, sergeant, or staff sergeant of any MOS. lance corporals and gunnery sergeants may apply for lateral move if determined exceptionally qualified by the PMOS 0211 Occupational Field Specialist, 02XX Occupational Field Manager, or MOS Sponsor.
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.f. Marines approved for lateral move into the 0211 MOS may rate a substantial selective retention bonus (SRB). For example, a qualified Active Component 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. Reference current MARADMINs for specific SRB information applicable to active duty and reserve Marines.
3. Execution. Interested Marines are encouraged to visit the PMOS 0211 website at https:(slash)(slash)www.intelligence.marines.mil/careers/PMOS/0211 to obtain additional information about a career as a CI/HUMINT Specialist.
