There are a number of locations that may not be appropriate for certain family members due to limited medical facilities for children requiring recurring medical care, limited educational facilities for high school children, etc. You must agree to volunteer for any world-wide assignment the DAS has to offer. Every effort will be made, however, to provide you with a number of assignment options. I understand that if accepted into DAS, I will be reclassified as a 71L with an ASI of E4. Upon completion of the staff operations course, you will be reclassified as a 71L and will be awarded a skill identifier of E4.
All training is in the Washington, D.C. area.
At a minimum, you must satisfactorily complete the eight-week attach staff operations course at Bolling Air Force Base. You can also elect to either extend on station or volunteer for another world-wide DAS assignment. If you choose, you can also elect to return to service. You represent the Secretary of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency, and the U.S. Army in diplomatic missions throughout the world. Duties vary from station to station but are always demanding and always ever-changing.
