well, theres nothing like that in the job description.

there is however

you will ensure the smooth running of military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility,

Specific duties may include assisting with supervision and management operations; providing facility security; providing custody, control, supervision, and escort; and counseling individual prisoners in rehabilitative programs.

Some of the skills you'll learn include military laws and jurisdictions; level of force procedures; unarmed self-defense techniques; police ethics procedures; interpersonal communications skills; close confinement operations; search and restraint procedures; use of firearms; custody and control procedures.

all i can think is they are planning to move the gitmo people to the mainland or something like that, i do remeber something like that from a while ago but i cant recall what exactly.
Or maybe they are sending these guys abroad, but wouldnt it make more sense to post it as regular army rather than national gaurd?

is pretty weird

Umm... Internement/Resettlement Specialist is the Army's name for Corrections Officer.

The Army has weird names for some stuff. Like medic is Health Care Specialist.

And National Guard has been deploying to Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait since the war started.

Yep. I guess the Army thinks it will sound better on people's resumes than Corrections Officer.

You can tell what kind of job someone does by the numbers in their MOS code.

Internment/Resettlement Specialist is 31E. Law Enforcement in the Army is of the 31 series. 31B is Military Police, 31D is Criminal Investigation Agent (the Army's FBI), and 31A is Military Police Officer.

Infantry is 11 series, Armor is 19 series, Artillery is 13 series, Air Defence is 14 series, Special Forces is 18 series, Engineers are 21 series and so on.

so effectivity, part time millitary prison gaurds? what this whole resettlement deal? who are they resettling and from where? I dunno i have feeling this has something to do with 'non-combatants' obama said he will close gitmo so they have to go somehere and theres a whole ton of em in iraq too as well true. though that would seem slightly devoius sending em off there considering its listed as part time and for the national guard, unless theres really no difference between the guard and the army anymore.

Guard can be deployed just like the Regular Army, Guard infantry brigades are deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan right now. For example the 56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, of the Pennsylvania National Guard is in Iraq right now. Route Irish of Iraq was named after the 69th Infantry Regiment (last remnants of the famed Irish Brigade) of the New York National Guard, who recently got back from Afghanistan.

And they are part time soldiers except when deployed, however many are Corrections Officers in the civilian world too.

And the whole recruitment is from one state that probably has a shortage in that MOS. I know at one time the PA Guard pushed Infantry as that was where they were short. There are a number of slots for every MOS and they will try to fill all of them.

About the Resettlement part is just part of the name. The Army is weird in that aspect.

Yeah, the military is just weird in naming things. Definitely in making them sound "glamorous"

For example, the Air Force has a job called Aerospace Propulsion. It sounds outer space cool, right? Your real title would be "engine mechanic".

My AFSC(Air Force Specialty Code) is 3C0X1, Communication - Computer Systems Operations, fancy words for help desk. The military likes to make everything sound sexy and exciting.
