Resolved

MOS 09B: Basic Trainee is missing. I suggest listing it under branch immaterial enlisted, along with Sgt. Maj. Or perhaps it would be better to list all 09 series trainees together, officers, warrants, and enlisted? 24.119.154.119 12:29, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 71 series is missing under AMEDD - MSC. Where would USAMRICD be without their 71B's???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.2.175.46 (talk) 19:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IP edits with no summaries

It seems that this page is edited by a lot of non-registered users who don't leave edit summaries or any sort of reference, but merely change the page ([1] most recent example]. This is a hard thing to research; I can't just pop onto the web and verify things. Any opinions out there? I'm going to rollback this latest one, citing no verification, but it would be nice to get some feedback. Maybe a semi-page protect? Tanthalas39 (talk) 14:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. An explanation for the edit you note, though, is that the 25B MOS is an enlisted MOS, the 251 is a Warrant Officer. The enlisted MOS was correctly removed and the WO correctly added. Whoever did it, did it properly, but there should be more controls on how it is done.Will (talk) 01:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The intel branch section has some strange claims

The claims for the existence of MOS 35Q and 35V seem dubious. I don't see either of those at here. Also, they are done restructuring so I'm going to delete that notice. If anyone has any reliable sources for these MOS designations, feel free to show me them.--Goon Noot (talk) 13:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also Im wondering, it says 35H is going to be deleted by NOV 2010, this is my current MOS and I have heard nothing of this nor could I find any article dealing with it online. Can someone find a reference for this or verify if this is even true? 22:31, 30 NOV 2008, sorry im not logged in.

Significant amount of redundancy

There are a large number of Enlisted MOS classifications repeated under the Officer section, and vice-versa. I think we need to consider combining all classifications into one list, or take a serious scrub of the redundancies between the E and O sections.Will (talk) 01:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I combined the 2 lists. It should be more intuitive now. Jigen III (talk) 10:33, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Separation of Functional Areas from Branches?

Is there a particular reason the various Officer Functional Areas are not sorted in with their respective branches/career fields? For example, the Signal Corps includes the FA-24A/X (Listed seperately as the Telecommunications Systems Engineering FA and placed in between the Armor Branch and the Signal Corps Branch) and the FA-53A/X (Listed seperately as the Systems Automation Officer FA and placed in between the Nuclear and Counterproliferation FA and the Chaplain Branch).dunerat (talk) 22:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

66J?

FM 8-10-14 (Employment of the Combat Support Hospital) says that the Intermediate Care Ward of a combat support hospital will include a captain (66H00) and two lieutenants (66H00 and 66J00). According to this Wiki article, a 66H is a Med-Surg Nurse, but 66J isn't listed.... 24.61.4.237 (talk) 00:00, 9 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Branch vs Corp

I am a little unclear on why this article refers to the various Army Corps as "Branches." Is this some administrative category? I was in the Transportation Corps during my Army service and not once did I hear it referred to as the "Transportation Branch." Most of the articles linked to in this article are Corps.

  • Nothing new. For example, I was in the Military Police Corps, but MP Branch is who handled all personnel assignments for enlisted, warrant and commissioned officers. The Logistics Branch includes Transportation and Ordnance Corps. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:57, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There was no such thing as a "Logistics Branch", the Transportation Corps (Branch, MOS 88), Ordnance Corps (Branch MOS 89/91), Quartermaster Corps (Branch MOS 92) were/are still separate entities; an Officer Can be A Multi Function Logistician FUNCTIONAL AREA (FA) 90 working with the separate Representatives of the Transportation Corps, Ordnance Corps, Quartermaster Corps. The term "Branch" was used by most that did not know the U.S. Army Corps or Regimental system; and was usually used to denote the Adminstrative, Personnel Management parts of the Corps/Regiments, a "Branch Officer" would be the Corps Personnel Management Administrative Officer as not the same as Corps Officers that would be usually at the Corps Headquarters, Center and School; example: I was a 13 Field Artillery, became a LRRP/Ranger 18/11.
