3. This MARADMIN serves as authority to assign the respective AMOS
as listed above. All selectees listed above must request 
appropriate entries be made into their permanent service records 
to reflect the appropriate AMOS through their Installation 
Personnel Administration Centers or command administration offices. 
4. Per ref A, Marines applying for an IAP AMOS are highlighting 
their availability to serve in international affairs and political-
military billets when not serving in their primary MOS. Marines who 
subsequently decline to serve in such billets will have their IAP 
AMOS administratively withdrawn. 
5. Per refs A and D, Marines with a FAO AMOS are required to 
maintain current minimum Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) 
scores of 2/2/1+ (FAO) or 1+/1+ (FAS) (Reading/Listening/Speaking). 
Failure to maintain minimum scores will result in administrative 
withdrawal of the FAO AMOS. 
6. Per ref A, IAP Marines who are slated with orders to fill 82XX
billets are required to complete a Tier 5 (T-5) investigation in
order to facilitate their integration into MAGTF planning,
operations, security cooperation, and intelligence efforts during 
future assignments within tactical, operational, and strategic-
level Marine Corps staffs, joint and combined staff, and for duty
with interagency organizations. Marines who are slated to fill 82XX 
billets and do not have current T-5 investigation will submit a 
request through their Security Office. Orders issued for individuals 
filling 82XX billets will serve as the authoritative document to 
initiate a T-5 Investigation.
7. Language sustainment training may be available for Marines with 
the 82XX AMOS contingent on available funding. The IAP newsletter 
found in the IAP website provides no-cost options to initiate and 
improve language skills. Additional request may be submitted to 
IAPMarine(at)usmc.mil.
8. Questions pertaining to IAP may be directed to the POCs 
listed above. The next panel will occur in the first week of 
November, with applications due by 15 October 2025.
