GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. This MARADMIN is to solicit qualified 
Marines to apply for a lateral move into primary MOS 0211, 
Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence (CI/HUMINT) Specialist for 
Fiscal Year 2026. Manpower and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) has 
categorized the 0211 MOS as a critical 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.  A PMOS 0211 Recruiting Manager can be 
contacted at email:  cihumint_latmove@usmc.mil and telephone 
(703) 895-8616.  
3.a. Marines should contact their Career Planner, Prior Service 
Recruiter, or a PMOS 0211 Recruiting Manager to initiate the lateral
move process.  Applicants must complete the NAVMC 11324 (CI/HUMINT 
Screening Checklist) and a suitability assessment conducted only by 
Marine Corps CI/HUMINT personnel, and must be recommended for 
lateral move by the PMOS 0211 Occupational Field Specialist or 02XX
Occupational Field Manager.
3.b. Marines approved for lateral move by M&RA will execute PCS or 
permanent change of assignment orders to the PMOS 0211 producing 
course (N46HFW2) at Marine Detachment Dam Neck, Marine Corps 
Intelligence Schools, located in Virginia Beach, VA.
3.c. This MARADMIN is applicable to the Total Force.
