Contingency Contract Specialist

MOS 3044 is a lateral move MOS that integrates highly qualified enlisted Marines into the acquisition field whose mission is to deploy in support of contingency operations and other operations of the Department of Defense. Marines are selected to serve in this MOS from a Contingency Contracting Specialist Screening Board (CCSSB). Marines will submit a package for a recommendation to lateral move into MOS. Marines selected to serve in this MOS are part of the Defense Acquisition Workforce governed by reference (co). Every 3044 billet in the Marine Corps is a part of the Contingency Contracting Force (CCF), within the Acquisition Workforce for the Department of Defense in accordance with reference (cp). These policies mandate required fundamental training standards for the CCF across the Department of Defense.
