I've brought up the Navy Mobile Security Detachments in a couple threads but no one has known what the hell MSD's are and do. I only know basic information but I was looking for anyone around that has experience with them or know someone who is in an MSD (preferrably an officer).
I am intersted in become an MSD Detachment OIC and was wondering what community MSD officers come from. I am planning on going into the intel community and then lead an MSD.
From what I have researched, MSD's are just smaller parts of Mobile Security Squadrons which are part of a Naval Coastal Warfare Group. The description line says, "Provide Fleet Commanders and Navy Component Commanders planning, administration, direction and training of highly mobile, fully capable and equipped active detachments to perform intra-theater physical security and force protection of naval assets (USN, MSC or commercial contract vessels) in transit, in ports or harbors, and at anchorage"
Here is the slide I found at NCWG Two's homepage, most recently MSD's have been stationed on the Iraqi Oil Terminals in the Gulf providing security.:
