Civil Affairs Association

Welcome to The Civil Affairs Association

May 112009

We are the professional association for the United States military Civil Affairs community. Our members are in the U.S. military and are civilians in government and industry. We have both active and retired Army, Marine Corps, and Navy members. We also have and encourage members from other countries.

The Civil Affairs Association was founded in 1947 by the US Army Civil Affairs veterans of World War II. We continue to support their objectives for the Association which include the following. We encourage professional dialog and the exchange of ideas on all aspects of Civil Affairs among and between our members, the military branches, and interested civilian organizations. We encourage research and publications which advance Civil Affairs thought and scholarship. We encourage activities which create and maintain esprit and camaraderie in the Civil Affairs community. We support a strong US Civil Affairs military force, and believe that the activities of this force promote and help build international peace. We support the US Army Civil Affairs Regiment, its members, and its activities.

You are invited to contact us to learn more about us and our activities, to join the Association, or to contribute articles or comments on Civil Affairs.

CIA looking for Military Service Members interested in a Career

Events

May 032013

The Central Intelligence Agency is still looking to connect with transitioning military service members who are interested in a career in protective operations.

A printable PDF 8.5″x11″ poster highlighting the benefits of a career with the CIA can be downloaded here: http://assets.recruitmilitary.com/pdf/client/CIA.pdf. Would you please take a moment to post this flyer where your transitioning service members can review it? This URL: https://www.cia.gov/careers/opportunities/support-professional/protective-agent.html provides access to the Protective Agent job listing online.

Additionally, if you have an email distribution list direct to service members or others who help them in transition, please consider forwarding this to them. Lastly, if you have the opportunity to mention the opportunities in transition briefings, that help would be greatly appreciated as well.

The CIA employs a wide variety of highly talented professionals to meet its mission of support for the President, the National Security Council and all those who make and execute US national policy. As a global organization, it has a continuous need to recruit and retain people with skills in everything from finance to logistics, linguistics to architecture, and law to cartography. Serving at home and abroad, CIA’s corps of dedicated professionals plays a vital role in the national security of our country every day.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide regarding the opportunities at CIA. The work you do with our armed forces as our service members transition from duty is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for alerting our deserving veterans of the career opportunities available with CIA.

Best regards,
