To support military spouses in advancing their careers despite the frequent relocations required by military life, the DoD has expanded employment opportunities for military spouses. MSP applies when positions are filled using competition procedures and the spouse is determined to be among the best qualified. This program is derived from Title 10, U.S.C, Section 1784, “Employment Opportunities for Military Spouses,” and applies to spouses of active-duty military members of the U.S. Armed Forces (including the Coast Guard), who relocate to accompany their sponsor on a PCS move.
