The Marine Corps is putting out the call for intelligence and signals intelligence Marines to screen for the Joint Special Operations Command Intelligence Brigade (JIB), a JSOC-assigned unit that recruits and selects every one of its members. This is an active-duty PCS billet, not a reserve assignment, so this MARADMIN is relevant to reservists who are eligible and willing to mobilize or transition. The JIB screens 12 to 18 months before orders execute, which means the window for FY27 PCS assignments is now.
Heads up: This is a PCS opportunity requiring 36 to 60 months at Fort Bragg. If you're 02XX or 26XX and in the right grade, the screening process is funded and open now.
Who it affects
Marines in the following MOSs and grades:
| Component | MOS | Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Active / eligible to PCS | 02XX (Intelligence) | Sergeant with 2+ years TIG |
| Active / eligible to PCS | 02XX (Intelligence) | Staff Sergeant |
| Active / eligible to PCS | 26XX (SIGINT/Ground EW) | First Lieutenant (career designated) |
| Active / eligible to PCS | 26XX (SIGINT/Ground EW) | Captain with no more than 3 years TIG |
Reservists are not excluded from applying, but you must be eligible and willing to execute a PCS to Fort Bragg, NC for 36 to 60 months in FY27. If you're in the IRR or SMCR and this fits your situation, contact the recruiting team directly to confirm your eligibility.
