Purpose: USMS, an agency of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), protects the Federal courts and ensures the effective operation of the judicial system; including the security, health, and safety of government witnesses and their immediate dependents and housing and transporting prisoners in Federal custody until they are either acquitted or delivered to their designated Federal prison.

• Managers of prisoner health care issues in the Office of Interagency Medical Services
• Providers of medical support to the USMS Special Operations Group, an elite group of highly trained Deputy U.S. Marshals who respond as teams to national emergencies and perform special law enforcement missions.
