Five pillars (for new and now current Corps applicants)
These position pillars include:
1. Assignment to underserved and vulnerable populations.
2. Assignment is in a hardship location (or difficult-to-recruit position) where there is significant unmet need for qualified professionals
3. Assignment requires regular engagement with other uniformed services.
4. Assignment does not meet criteria 1-4 but cannot be filled without the Commissioned Corps and will address an important public health need.
5. Assignment requires individual to be available for rapid deployment – domestic or international – at the direction of the agency head (as distinguished from
deployment for natural disaster or international response) or requires availability to perform duties 24/7, including when on leave.
