1. The purpose of this MARADMIN is to solicit qualified Marines to screen for the Joint Special Operations Command Intelligence Brigade (JIB). All Marines assigned to the JIB must meet specific and very stringent criteria mandated by the JIB. 2. The JSOC Intelligence Brigade organizes, trains, equips, retains and employs highly qualified Joint Service intelligence professionals in support of JSOC to facilitate the conduct of exercises, training, and the development of doctrine for Special Operations Forces intelligence operations. The JIB drives JSOC's targeting enterprise by illuminating the enemy with unfailing precision for prosecution by the most elite and surgically employed combat forces in the world. The JIB is one of only a handful of organizations that maintains the mandate to recruit, assess, and select each of its members. Every member of the JIB is selected and hired by current members of the Brigade. 3. An assignment within the JIB is widely recognized by service components and promotion boards as one of the most challenging and career-enhancing in all of DoD. JIB promotion rates routinely exceed the average of each service, and some JIB billets are eligible for joint credit. Whether training or deployed, JIB members work in a professionally demanding environment that affords military members the opportunity to see direct results from their work. JIB members are allowed authority, autonomy, and responsibility, along with the unique benefits associated with service in Special Operations Forces. 4. Eligibility 4.a.
