Solicitation of Qualified Marines to Lateral Move Into the Counterintelligence Human Intelligence Primary MOS 0211

1. Purpose. This MARADMIN solicits qualified Marines to apply for a 
lateral move into primary MOS 0211, Counterintelligence/Human 
Intelligence (CI/HUMINT) Specialist, for Fiscal Year 2027. Manpower 
and Reserve Affairs (M&RA) has identified the PMOS 0211 as a 
critical specialty, and the demand for qualified Marines to lateral 
move into this MOS will remain high for the foreseeable future.
2. Background. CI/HUMINT Specialists perform sensitive and complex 
intelligence operations supporting the Marine Air-Ground Task Force 
(MAGTF) and other commanders in both garrison and deployed 
environments. They identify threats from hostile intelligence 
organizations or individuals involved in terrorism, espionage, 
sabotage, or subversion. Marines collect intelligence through CI 
activities and HUMINT operations, including interrogation, 
debriefing, screening, and liaison. They have opportunities to 
deploy with MAGTF units, other services, and interagency partners to
address global threats and protect personnel, property, and national
security information.
2.a. CI/HUMINT Marines directly contribute to the success of Marine 
Corps missions. While technical and operational skills are acquired 
through training, certain innate qualities are essential. CI/HUMINT 
Marines must have excellent communication skills, enabling them to 
interact with a wide range of people in any situation. Intellect, 
flexibility, emotional maturity, creativity, and diverse cultural 
experiences are invaluable. Success as an 0211 relies heavily on 
interpersonal skills, strong character, ethics, morality, and 
maturity. Therefore, Marines applying for a lateral move must have 
already proven themselves as high-quality Marines.
2.b. CI/HUMINT Marines undergo extensive training and operate 
independently or in small teams supporting MAGTF, Joint Forces, or 
interagency partners. In addition to entry-level and specialized 
intelligence courses, CI/HUMINT Marines may attend survival and 
airborne training, advanced driving and shooting courses, and other 
tactical, operational, and strategic intelligence training.
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 as well as meet 
prerequisites to execute a re-enlistment. 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.
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 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 the 0211
MOS 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 
0211 PMOS, 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.
