ARLINGTON, Va. – The Army has expanded its Critical Skills Retention Bonus to include more cryptolinguists.

The CSRB program targets Military Occupational Specialties that are in high demand or don’t have a lot of people, said Sgt. Maj. Dean Drummond, Army senior career counselor.

The changes are effective March 13.

Award levels range from $10,000 to $150,000, based on a soldier’s MOS, rank and time on active duty, an Armywide message said.

One change targets E-7 cryptolinguists with 17 to 20 years’ active-duty service, Drummond said.
