GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. CMC (MMEA) CONTINUES TO SOLICIT MARINES TO LATERAL MOVE INTO THE HIGH-DEMAND, LOW-DENSITY (HD/LD) MILITARY OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY (MOS) 0211.  THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY SEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIRST TERM ALIGNMENT PROGRAM (FTAP) CORPORALS AND SERGEANTS WITH AN END OF ACTIVE SERVICE DATE WITHIN FISCAL YEAR 2014 THAT MEET A MINIMUM GT REQUIREMENT OF 110.
2. PURPOSE.  THE PURPOSE OF THIS MARADMIN IS TO SOLICIT QUALIFIED FIRST TERM ALIGNMENT PROGRAM (FTAP) MARINES TO EXECUTE THE LATERAL MOVE OPTION INTO MOS 0211 COUNTERINTELLIGENCE HUMAN INTELLIGENCE (CI/HUMINT) SPECIALIST.  MARINES WHO MEET THE PREREQUISITES IN REFERENCES (A AND C) ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO APPLY.
3. BACKGROUND. THE 0211 MOS HAS BEEN CATEGORIZED BY MANPOWER AND RESERVE AFFAIRS, MANPOWER PLANS AND POLICY ENLISTED CAREER RETENTION SECTION (MPP-20) AS A CHRONICALLY SHORT HD/LD MOS.  THE DEMAND FOR HIGHLY QUALIFIED MARINES TO EMPLOY THIS CAPABILITY HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED OVER THE LAST DECADE AND WILL REMAIN FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
4. DISCUSSION. CI/HUMINT SPECIALISTS CONDUCT OPERATIONS IN EVERY REGION OF THE WORLD, INDIVIDUALLY OR IN TEAMS, IN SUPPORT OF MAGTF OR JOINT OPERATIONS.  EMPLOYING THEIR PERSONALITY AS THE TOOL, THEY USE THEIR INNATE INTELLECT, FLEXIBILITY, AND CREATIVITY, AUGMENTED BY KNOWLEDGE OF CULTURE, TO SATISFY MISSION REQUIREMENTS FROM TACTICAL THROUGH STRATEGIC.  CI/HUMINT MARINES DEPLOY GLOBALLY ALONGSIDE WARFIGHTERS AND INTERAGENCY PARTNERS TO PROTECT SERVICE MEMBERS, BASES AND STATIONS.
5. SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT. THE 0211 MOS IS A UNIQUE FIELD THAT REQUIRES A LAYERED DEPTH OF CHARACTER, MORALITY, INTERPERSONAL SKILLS AND LIFE KNOWLEDGE. 0211 IS NOT A TECHNICAL DISCIPLINE AND SUCCESS RELIES HEAVILY ON BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE AND THE MARINE'S ABILITY TO USE INTERPERSONAL SKILLS. ACCORDINGLY, THE PERFORMANCE STANDARD REQUIRES INTERESTED APPLICANTS TO BE SELECTED BY A PANEL OF CI/HUMINT PROFESSIONALS FOR EVALUATION OF SUITABILITY. SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT INCORPORATES A WHOLE MARINE APPROACH TO BLEND THE MANY CHARACTER AND PERFOMANCE DATA POINTS THAT REVEAL A HOLISTIC INTERPRETATION OF A MARINE'S DEMONSTRATED ABILITITIES AND POTENTIAL TO PERFORM CI/HUMINT MISSION SETS.  HIGHLY DESIRABLE HUMINT COLLECTOR TRAITS CAN BE FOUND IN REFERENCE (C).
