Military Psychology: Non-Clinical

I'm trying to gather information, but all I end up getting is vague references to possible jobs(no job titles), and I'm not positive if the military prefers for psychology majors to go through grad school as a civilian, or as a service member. I'm interested in interrogations and indigenous populations. I have no interest in clinical, and I would prefer to work overseas. Does anybody know anything about Military Psychology and the different jobs in that field? I don't care what branch you're in, because I'm looking for a best fit. Any information would be helpful and appreciated.
 
Have a couple of sites below my typing here.

I will not say that the information I have is the best, I am hoping there is someone on here in that type of position.


From all the information I've seen, you enter as clinical and then move into the appropriate position. I am digging to find better information but all that comes up is the description in the first site, which is one general position. However; all of the sites talk about the different aspects of where you can work with this position. I would dig into this with recruiters and really get the ins and outs of these positions.

I've found some information here and there, like military psychology is classified as division 19 by the APA and acts as a title for all types of specialization that can be found in the military. Also, I have read that civilians that work for the military can not work overseas, but I wouldn't have to worry about that if I were to go through direct commissioning, right?

That is a question that I will not be able to answer. I will try to find out, but it may be a while.


*Edit*
So, contact an Officer Recruiter. And it must be an Officer Recruiter. Not the general enlistment. Every bit of information from the various branches points towards overseas deployment based on need, but it seems to be an answer that is broad on every one of their sites.
