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AMOS administratively withdrawn.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) (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 is available for Marines with the
FAO AMOS. The IAP newsletter found in the IAP website provides
no-cost options to initiate and improve language skills.
Additional requests can be submitted to IAPMarine(at)usmc.mil.
8. Questions concerning the IAP can be directed to the POCs listed
above.
9. Release authorized by Mr. Jeffrey L. DeWeese, Acting Director,
Strategy and Plans Division, Plans, Policies, and Operations,
Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps.//
