Civil Affairs Specialist
Job Description
Civil Affairs Specialists are the vital link between the Army National Guard, local citizens, and civilian aid organizations during emergencies or other military or humanitarian operations. They help identify and communicate the needs of civilians for situations requiring Guard assistance or support.
As a Civil Affairs Specialist, you would support civil-military operations by researching, coordinating, conducting, and participating in the planning and production of civil affairs related documents. This may require you to plan interagency procedures for national or regional emergencies; coordinate military resources to support reconstitution or reconstruction activities; support national disaster, defense, or emergency response activities; foster and maintain dialogue with civilian aid agencies and civilian relief organizations; and establish mechanisms for emergency coordination and administration where political-economic structures have been incapacitated.
Become a Civil Affairs Specialist in the Guard and you will do more than communicate for your country, you will prepare yourself for a rewarding civilian career. What you learn here may prepare you for a future with educational institutions, Government offices, social services, and commercial businesses. Youll be qualified to pursue a career as a historian, case worker, educational specialist, office manager, field representative, or intelligence research specialist.
