Master-at-Arms (MA) Sailors provide the Navys core security, antiterrorism, and law enforcement capability, protecting people, installations, ships, and strategic assets at home and abroad. They conduct force protection, physical security, and policing on bases, aboard ships, at sea, and in expeditionary environments, and may specialize in areas such as military working dogs, harbor security, corrections, investigations, or protective services.

Key Responsibilities
Conduct antiterrorism and force protection patrols on installations and piers; stand sentry and access control posts and control entry to secure areas; perform vehicle, personnel, and baggage inspections to detect weapons, contraband, or unauthorized items; enforce traffic and parking regulations, respond to calls for service, and investigate incidents and traffic accidents; collect and preserve evidence and prepare reports and case files; provide law enforcement presence and crowd control during special events and emergencies; operate and maintain small arms, crew-served weapons, non-lethal weapons, and security vehicles or boats; support harbor and waterside security, high-value unit escorts, and expeditionary security missions; supervise and train junior security force personnel in watchstanding, weapons, and security procedures.

What to Expect
Work in a fast-paced, armed, and safety-critical environment where attention to detail, judgment, and professionalism are essential; frequent duty in rotating shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays, to provide 24/7 security and law enforcement coverage; exposure to stressful situations involving emergencies, accidents, or criminal activity, requiring calm decision-making and strong communication; ongoing qualification and requalification in weapons, use of force, tactical skills, and physical fitness; increasing responsibility over time as you qualify for specialized billets such as patrol supervisor, watch commander, kennel master, or investigator.

Work Environment
Assignments at Navy installations in the U.S. and overseas, aboard aircraft carriers and other ships, and with expeditionary security units and strategic weapons facilities; work primarily on bases, piers, flight lines, harbor security boats, and in patrol vehicles, kennels, armories, and security operations centers; opportunities for overseas, forward-deployed, and dependent-restricted tours that count as sea duty for rotation; close integration with other security forces, Marine units, NCIS, and joint or host-nation partners depending on billet.

Pathways, Training & Advancement
Recruit Training followed by Master-at-Arms Class A School at Lackland AFB, where you learn basic law enforcement, weapons handling, antiterrorism, patrol procedures, and security operations; progressive on-the-job qualification through Personnel Qualification Standards, watchstations, and unit training; opportunities for advanced schools that award Navy Enlisted Classifications such as Military Working Dog Handler and Kennel Master, Harbor Security Coxswain and Patrol Leader, Corrections Specialist, Small Arms Instructor, Crew-Served Weapons Instructor, Protective Service Specialist, and Criminal Investigator; career-long development through leadership courses, warfare qualifications (such as ESWS, EAWS, EXW, FMF, or NWS when assigned to qualifying commands), and senior enlisted leader programs.
Enlist directly into the Master-at-Arms rating and attend MA A School after Recruit Training, then report to an operational security force billet at an installation, ship, or expeditionary unit; Reserve opportunities may exist in Navy Security Force and Maritime Expeditionary Security units for qualified prior-service or SELRES applicants, often requiring completion of MA A School or equivalent training and, for some billets, specific NECs or follow-on schools; prior-service Sailors from other ratings may be able to convert into MA based on community needs and screening.
