JOB DUTIES

• Plan, coordinate and supervise activities of personnel engaged in these operations; establish work schedules and priorities; and evaluate performance of staff

With increasing joint operations, a greater pool of applicants from other military branch services (Navy, Air Force and Marines) exists. Those who can demonstrate their qualifications may apply for 352S on a will-train basis. Applicants from other military branches must come from a military intelligence (MI) Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) with similar duties and skill set as outlined above. Applicants must demonstrate their qualifications through hard copies of documented experience (e.g., awards, certificates and performance evaluations).

Due to the large number of qualified applicants with under 12 years' Active Service (AS) for 352S, the Military Intelligence Proponent is discouraging applicants with over 12 years' AS from applying at this time.
