This is similar to the career management field of the enlisted personnel. A newly commissioned army officer first receives a "career branch". They are then followed by the SQI, ASI, and SLI as an enlisted MOS would be.Ĭommissioned officers' occupational codes are structured somewhat differently. In practice, warrant officer MOSC are very similar to enlisted codes except they begin with three digits instead of two before the first letter, and do not have a "skill level" identifier.

The following year, a revision of commissioned officer professional development and career management integrated warrant officer career development with the officer career development model. ĭuring 2004, all army warrant officers began wearing the insignia of their specialty's proponent branch rather than the 83-year-old "Eagle Rising" distinctive warrant officer insignia. The remaining 50% are technicians appointed from experienced enlisted soldiers and NCOs in a "feeder" MOS directly related to the warrant officer MOS. Approximately 50% of warrant officers are rotary wing aviators (helicopter pilots), and can be appointed directly from civilian life or within the service, regardless of previous enlisted MOS. Warrant officers are sometimes specialized technicians and systems managers, and were not originally assigned to traditional arms or services of the Army. When promoted from master sergeant or first sergeant or sergeant major to command sergeant major, that soldier will be reclassified administratively from their previous "senior sergeant" MOS to the MOS 00Z (zero-zero-zulu), "command sergeant major". In this case, the soldier becomes a 68Z at the SGM level, not the MSG level. An example of when this conversion occurs at the MSG to SGM level is the 68 (formerly the 91) CMF. That soldier is reclassified administratively from MOS 12B to MOS 12Z "senior engineer sergeant"). For example, a combat engineer (MOS 12B, part of CMF 12) is promoted from sergeant first class to master sergeant. When an enlisted soldier is promoted from sergeant first class to master sergeant in most career types, that soldier will be reclassified administratively to the "senior sergeant" of their career management field. Language identification codes can be found in AR 611-6. Soldiers without a language skill are assigned the default LIC "YY" (Yankee-Yankee).
#Military mos code code
Eighth and ninth characters: two-letter requirements and qualifications which are a language identification code (LIC).Soldiers without any ASIs are assigned the default ASI of "mk lmk00" (zero-zero). They are an alphanumeric combination and may only be associated with specified MOSs, although in practice some ASIs are available to every MOS (e.g. Sixth and seventh characters: an additional skill identifier (ASI).Soldiers without any special SQI are assigned the SQI "O" (oscar), often confused with a zero. It may be associated with any MOS unless otherwise specified. Fifth character: a letter or number and a special qualification identifier (SQI)."6" identifies a sergeant major (SGM) or command sergeant major (CSM) (as of 1 April 2011)."5" identifies a master sergeant (MSG) or first sergeant (1SG) (see E-8, below)."4" identifies a sergeant first class (SFC/pay grade E-7)."3" identifies a staff sergeant (SSG/pay grade E-6)."2" identifies a sergeant (SGT/pay grade E-5)."1" identifies a private (PVT) through specialist (SPC/pay grade E-4) or corporal (CPL/also pay grade E-4)."0" is used to identify personnel undergoing training for award of a primary MOS (PMOS).The fourth character of the MOSC represents skill level (commensurate with rank and grade):.Among the letters, Z is reserved for "senior sergeant" (E-8), such that 11Z is "senior infantry sergeant". For example, CMF 11 covers infantry, so MOS 11B is "rifle infantryman". The two-digit number is usually (but not always) synonymous with the career management field (CMF). The first two characters are always numbers, the third character is always a letter. The MOSC is used with active and reserve records, reports, authorization documents, and other personnel management systems. It is used by automated management systems and reports.

The MOS code (MOSC), consisting of nine characters, provides more information than a soldier's MOS. The current list of army military occupational specialty codes is published on the United States Army Human Resources Command (HRC) PAMXXI website. Main article: List of United States Army careers
