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 the following Navy Personnel Command webpages: a. Attache and OPSCO positions: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career- Management/Detailing/Officer/Attache/ b. OPSAsst positions: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Career- Management/Detailing/Enlisted/Shore-Special/Embassy-Duty/ 7. This message will remain in effect until superseded or canceled, whichever occurs first. 8. Released by VADM Jeffrey E. Trussler, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, OPNAV N2N6.// BT #0001 NNNN UNCLASSIFIED//
