This information is intended for those making inquiries from the Republic of Italy.
Military recruitment does not fall within the scope of the Defense Attaché Office at the American Embassy in Rome. However, the following general information is provided for your reference:
All applicants for enlistment in the U.S. Armed Forces (as well as the U.S. Civil Service and law enforcement agencies) must be either
- a U.S. citizen, or
- a registered alien who is:
1) legally and permanently resident in the U.S., and
2) in possession of a U.S. Immigration (‘Green’) Card (INS 1-151 or INS 1-551) and Social Security number.
In general, applications for enlistment are normally processed on-site at a recruiting office in the United States. Since all applicants have to take the necessary physical and mental examinations to determine their suitability, there is no way of foretelling whether or not they will be recruited. Recruitment also depends on the needs of the Armed Forces at that time.
If you meet the above criteria you should request further information from the following relevant offices in the U.K. or Germany:
