RMKS/1. This naval message provides information and updates on the Navys
participation in the Defense Attache Service (DAS) for Navy personnel.
2. The Navy looks to its most qualified and capable officers and enlisted
personnel to fill demanding and rewarding positions as Senior Defense
Officials/Defense Attaches, Naval Attaches, Assistant Naval Attaches,
Operations Coordinators and Operations Assistants in exotic and unique
locations. They will serve as a part of the U.S. Defense Attache Office
team, based at U.S. Embassies in 78 countries. All candidates are trained at
the Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) 13-week Joint Military Attache
School, and depending on their assigned country, extensive language training
may be provided prior to arriving on station. Naval Attaches are the voice
of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) and Chief of Naval Operations,
articulating policies as well as Navy strategy to a host nation. Naval
Attaches observe and report information to reduce strategic surprise, and
call attention to issues that will affect U.S. interests in time for decision
makers to act. Naval Attaches have provided observations that have been
briefed at the highest levels of government. Our Naval Attaches build
strong, lasting relationships with partners who share a common vision of
maritime security. As part of the U.S. Embassy country team and in support
of the Ambassadors objectives, Naval Attaches play a critical role in
enhancing relationships in host nations which are not traditional or long-
time partners.
3. SECNAV considers the Navy’s contribution to the DAS as one of his most
critical responsibilities, as expanded upon in references (a) and (b). For
Naval Attaches, SECNAV is the final approval authority for officers nominated
to serve in the DAS under DIA. The Director of Naval Intelligence manages
the day-to-day operation of the Navy Attache Program as detailed in reference
(c).
4. For those who meet the selection criteria of reference (d), service in
the DAS offers unique opportunities for the best and most highly qualified
Navy personnel. Through a robust, competitive selection and training
process, service members and their families will ultimately be posted at U.S.
Embassies around the world in one of more than 150 DAS positions.
a. Over the next year, Navy Attache Affairs will screen for attache
positions in: Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma,
Cameroon, Chile, China, Djibouti, Ecuador, Egypt, Fiji, France, Germany,
Greece, Honduras, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kenya,
Madagascar, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Philippines,
Poland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, United Arab
Emirates, Ukraine, and United Kingdom.
b. In addition, exceptional Limited Duty Officer/Chief Warrant Officer
and enlisted personnel will be able to screen as Operations Coordinators
(OPSCO) and Operations Assistants (OPSAsst) positions in: Australia, China,
Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Malaysia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, United
Kingdom, Uruguay, and Vietnam.
5. To demonstrate the importance SECNAV places on duty at DAOs, as discussed
in reference (a), procedures are in place at Navy Personnel Command (NPC) to
expand the eligibility for DAS assignments. Active promotion and advertising
of the program has been implemented and NPC is working to further incentivize
and reward DAS service through statutory promotion board
precepts. Additionally, these tours frequently offer language training,
Foreign Language Proficiency Pay, and Special Duty Assignment Pay for
enlisted personnel.
6. For additional information about these exceptional opportunities visit
