About the MFO

The people of the MFO serve a historic mission in support of peace and regional stability. We seek candidates of the highest integrity and professionalism who share our commitment to this mission.

Our success rests with our people in the Sinai — a multinational team of men and women, military and civilian, working together in a demanding operational environment. MFO personnel carry out a mission that is challenging and sometimes repetitive, far from home and family, in the remote desert setting of the Sinai.

In return, MFO members are supported with education opportunities, welfare programs, and recreational activities that help sustain a strong sense of community and purpose. Despite the challenges of the environment, our staff are proud to work for the MFO and are determined to make a positive impact.
