Army Requests More “Internment / Resettlement Specialists”

Source: Dateline Zero

A recent job posting reveals that the U.S. Army is actively hiring more “internment / resettlement specialists.” In fact they are interested in applicants from among enlisted “Active Duty” as well as “Army Reserve.”

Excuse me while I go get my tinfoil hat…

Advanced responsibilities for this position, according to the job posting, will include: “Supervise and establish all administrative, logistical and food support operations, confinement/correctional, custodial, treatment, and rehabilitative activities.”

The job posting, visible online, reads:

Internment/Resettlement (I/R) Specialists in the Army are primarily responsible for day-to-day operations in a military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility. I/R Specialists provide rehabilitative, health, welfare, and security to U.S. military prisoners within a confinement or correctional facility; conduct inspections; prepare written reports; and coordinate activities of prisoners/internees and staff personnel.

Some of your duties as an Internment/Resettlement Specialist may include:

• Assist with the supervision and management of confinement and detention operations
• Provide external security to confinement/corrections facilities or detention/internment facilities
• Provide counseling and guidance to individual prisoners within a rehabilitative program
• Prepare or review reports and records of prisoners/internees and programs

I totally realize that if this was something to freak out about, the Pentagon would probably not want this posted online.

On the other hand, this comes just in time for the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012. So, ya, I am being a little bit paranoid.
