A CD NCO could mean numerous different things. Here are a few to possibly get you going in the right direction: Career Development, Command Discipline, or a Chemical Defense NCO. Hope this helped.

Although that acronym is new to me, I believe it probably stands for "Civilian Detainee"

Now, let's go to an authoritative source in the matter. I searched and found that a RallyPoint member SSG Private RallyPoint Member lists his current duty position as C/D NCO. Maybe he can solve the mystery for us....

1SG Private RallyPoint Member, SFC Mark Merino , and COL Jean (John) F. B.,

About two years ago or more, we changed MP Terminology. We did away with Internment Resettlement Operations....Changed the Named to Detention Operations and moved Resettlement into the Security and Mobility Discipline.

We changed the name for the MOS from Internment Resettlement Specialist to Corrections/ Detention Specialist.

So, my guess if you are looking at an MTOE (assuming for a BCT) the C/D NCO position is what used to be the Internment Resettlement NCO assigned to the BCT as their Subject Matter Expert for Detention Operations.

Casual duty. It generally refers to an off-MOS special assignment. As a casual duty NCO I assisted a chaplain or other commissioned officer deliver bad news to servicemembers' families.

It is the new designation for 31Es. It means "Corrections/Detention." It replaced "Internment/Resettlement."
