Chapter 1

Introduction

Section I Overview

1–1. Purpose This publication provides— a. Guidance to individuals, commanders, personnel managers, proponents, and combat and material developers. Additionally it contains information on the classification of individuals by identifi- ers and classification of positions (duty position title, identifier(s) and grade in requirements and authorization documents). This publi- cation implements the policy contained in AR 611-1. b. Authorized branches, functional areas (FA), area of concentra- tion (AOC), skill identifiers (SI) and guidance on the use of these codes in the classification of officer positions and personnel. c. Authorized branches, AOC, military occupational specialties (MOSs), special qualification identifiers (SQIs), additional skill identifiers (ASIs), and guidance on the use of these codes in the classification of warrant officer positions and personnel. d. Authorized career management fields (CMF), MOSs, SQIs, ASIs and guidance on the use of these codes in the classification of enlisted positions and personnel.

1–2. References Required and related publications and prescribed and referenced forms are listed in appendix A.

1–3. Explanation of abbreviations and terms Abbreviations and special terms used in this regulation are listed in the glossary.

1–4. Statutory authority Titles 10 (Armed Forces) and 32 (National Guard) of the United States Code are the statutory authority for this publication.

Section II Proposals for Military Occupational Classification Structure (MOCS)

1–5. Establishment of organizational documentation (OD) codes a. The purpose of the OD code is to support the acquisition of a non-developmental item (NDI) per AR 71-32. It is used to create documents, develop training tasks and strategy, determine the proper grade structure and duty position titles, and identify the necessary bill payers. b. The need for a new identifier (OD code) is determined during development of the Mission Need Statement (MNS). The MNS is approved at milestone zero (MSO). Since the MSO occurs prior to the initiation and development of the Basis of Issue Plan Feeder Data (BOIPFD) and Qualitative and Quantitative Personnel Require- ments Information (QQPRI), the required information for a MOCS proposal is not readily available. c. On approval of the MNS, the personnel proponent will submit a request to Commander, U.S. Total Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM), ATTN: TAPC-PLC, to establish an OD code. The request will include— (1) A brief statement on the basis and nature of the proposal with justification for establishing a new identifier, and an explanation of why an existing MOS cannot be used. (2) A double-spaced draft of the proposal and a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk in one of the most commonly used word processing software formats or American Standard Code Information Interchange (AS- CII) format. (3) A statement that the new MOS will or will not be a space imbalanced military occupational specialty (SIMOS) based on proj- ected fielding of equipment. (4) A statement that the identifier will or will not be available for

female soldier assignment and utilization. A male only identifier must be justified. (5) A copy of the MNS. d. The OD code will expire when a final MOS action has been submitted and approved, or 24 months from the date established unless an extension is requested by the personnel proponent. e. On submission of the Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP) and QQPRI, the personnel proponent will submit a request for establishment of a MOS (AR 611-1) (to include a copy of the BOIP/QQPRI) to PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-PLC. The request for the OD code and MOS will also accompany the BOIP/QQPRI through the appropriate staffing procedures. f. The MOS should be established as soon as possible but no later than 30 months prior to the first unit equipped date, to allow for proper documentation. Once approved, the process is completed and the OD code will be converted to the approved MOS in the Person- nel Occupational Specialty Code—edit (POSC-Edit) file and pub- lished in Part III of the document.

1–6. Establishing project development identifier (PDI) and identifying personnel a. Requesting persons or agencies. One of the following persons or agencies will request establishment of a new PDI. These persons or agencies also normally request assignment of a PDI and Project Development skill identifier (PDSI) to to a soldier. Request for a new PDI will be coordinated with other affected agencies before they are submitted to PERSCOM. (1) Project manager. (2) U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) sys- tem manager. (3) Commandant of the TRADOC school responsible for training on a project or system. (4) U.S. Army Operational Test and Evaluation Command. (5) U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command. (6) Commander of the organization or test director testing the item of equipment or system. This may be a unit of any major command (MACOM). b. Restriction on identifiers. The following restrictions apply to all PDI and PDSI: (1) Identifiers will not be included in Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE) or The Army Authorization Documents System- Redesign (TAADS-R). These codes are for personnel identification only. (2) Identifiers will not be used in requisitioning, unless approve by Cdr, PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC- (OPMD/EPMD, as appropri- ate). If approved for requisitioning, PDI will be part of the special instruction trailer card (SITC) of a requisition. Use of SITC is prescribed in AR 614-200, appendix C. (3) PDI and PDSI will not be reported through the Standard Installation/Division Personnel System (SIDPERS). (4) PDI and PDSI will not be shown on the DA Form 2 (Person- nel Qualification Record—Part I.) However, they will be entered in pencil on Part II, DA Form 2-1. Additionally, DA Form 5178-R (Project Development Identifier (PDI) and Project Development Skill Identifier (PDSI)) will be included in the enlisted field person- nel record. This ensures proper inprocessing of PDI-designated sol- diers. A copy of DA Form 5178-R is located at the back of this pamphlet for local reproduction. This form is also available in elec- tronic media. (5) PDI and PDSI will not be used to replace the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (ODCSPER) specialty/MOS decision process as part of the normal QQPRI program. c. Requesting a new PDI and PDSI. Request to establish a new PDI and/or PDSI will contain the information listed below. This information will be prepared in the format shown in figure 1-1. (1) PDI and PDSI titles. An unclassified title must be given. If the official title is classified, give a short unclassified title. If an acronym is used for a project or system title, it must be defined. (2) Estimated number of soldiers to be identified by the PDI. List this information by the number of officers, warrant officers and enlisted personnel.

(3) Required project development skill identifiers. Each PDSI must be clearly different from others. Include a short justification for requesting each separate PDSI. A PDI must have at least one PDSI. (4) Criteria. Criteria for assignment of the PDI and PDSI. (5) Authorized activities. List of activities authorized to request assignment of PDI and PDSI to soldiers. (6) Restrictions. Restrictions on assignment to soldiers, such as only selected MOS, ASIs or grade. (7) Date. Estimated date when a PDI will no longer be needed.

1–7. Processing requests for PDI/PDSI and assignment of identifiers a. The requesting agency will send the request for identifiers to PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-PLC-C. b. PERSCOM will review the request. (1) If the request is approved, a PDI and PDSI will be assigned and notification will be sent to the affected activities. (2) If the request is not approved, the request will be returned giving the reason for disapproval. c. On approval, authorized agencies will submit requests for as- signment of PDI to soldiers. Commanders of units or test directors designated to test an item will identify soldiers involved in testing. The requesting agency may also include names of soldiers to be assigned PDI and PDSI. d. Requests for assignment of PDI and PDSI to soldiers will be sent to PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC- (OPMD/EPMD, as appropriate) (see figure 1-3). The PDI assignment date is when the soldiers

became qualified for assignment of PDI and PDSI. PERSCOM will return rosters rejected by the master files if an error cannot be corrected. On notification of the PDI in the master file, requesting agencies will complete DA Form 5178-R.

1–8. PDSI construction a. PDSI are formed by adding a letter at the end of a PDI. This letter identifies the type of knowledge or skill a person had ac- quired. Letters ’A’ through ’H’ have a uniform description and may be used with any PDI. Letter ’J’ will be used if the description for A through H is not adequate. b. Uniform descriptions for ’A’ through ’J’ are described in table 1-1. PDSI code I will not be utilized.

1–9. Termination and deletion of PDI and PDSI a. When a PDI is no longer needed for identification of person- nel, PERSCOM will delete the PDI from the personnel files. PERSCOM will notify the field of such deletions. b. Responsible agencies will recommend termination of the PDI and PDSI to Cdr, PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-PLC-C. c. When terminated, a PDI and PDSI will be deleted from an individual’s records. d. Requests for withdrawal of a PDI identification will be sent to the proper career branch. e. Each PDI will be reviewed biennially by CG, PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-PLC-C, for compliance with the specific policies, criteria and guidance used for establishing the identifier.

Officer Classification System

Section I Procedural guidance

2–1. Concept The following chapters in this part provide the procedural guidance for the classification of officer personnel and positions. This part consists of a complete compilation of authorized classification iden- tifiers for officer personnel and standards for grading officer posi- tions in authorization documents. No other classifications will be used for officers in authorization documents or strength reporting requirements.

2–2. Position classification structure a. Positions that are not related to a specific branch or FA but require experience in combat arms, logistics or personnel will be coded as follows: (1) Branch immaterial (01A). Code used to identify positions filled by any officer. (2) Combat arms immaterial (02A). Used to identify positions where there is a requirement for an officer to have experience in one of the combat arms branches. (3) Personnel immaterial (04A). Used to identify positions where there is a requirement for an officer to have experience in the personnel area but not necessarily an AG officer. b. Positions requiring aviators as operational or nonoperational flying positions will be documented as follows: (1) Operational flying positions. Operational flying positions will normally be identified in the primary position of the position code; (Branch 15 or AOC 67J) plus the appropriate aircraft skill in the skill column. In conformance with Material Acquisition Manage- ment (MAM) (4Z) Program, coding requirements for operational flying positions, the Aviation AOC will be placed in the secondary position requirement. If there is more than one aircraft skill, this will be indicated by a trailer card to accompany requisitions for personnel fill. (2) Nonoperational aviation positions. (a) Identifies aviation positions requiring aviation expertise, but no flying, with the appropriate Branch 15 AOCs and AOC 67J. Skill identifier G7 follows the position requirement. (b) Nonoperational aviation positions coded SI G7, which require qualifications in a specific aircraft, will have the appropriate aircraft skill indicated. Except MAM Program positions, the SI 4Z must be shown. Additional skills will be included in a trailer card to accom- pany requisitions for personnel fill.

(c) See AR 570-1 for procedures to determine operational flying and nonoperational aviation position requirements.

2–3. Position classification guidance a. Use immaterial coding to the maximum extent possible when a specific branch is not required. b. Use Branch coding whenever the expertise of a specific branch is required. c. Use FA coding when the expertise of the specific FA is required. d. Dual coded positions (i.e., branch/FA or FA/branch) should be kept to a minimum and used only when a position requires a combi- nation of expertise.

2–4. Composition and organization of branch, FA, and AOC The specifications for branches and FAs are as follows: a. Branch/FA code and title. A two-digit numerical designation and descriptive title that identifies the branch/FA. b. Branch/FA proponent. The designated proponent assigned pri- mary responsibility for establishing of qualification criteria and ca- reer development patterns within their specific occupational career field. c. Branch/FA description. A short paragraph that indicates briefly the scope and distinguishing characteristics of the branch/FA. d. Branch/FA qualification. DA Pam 600-3 lists qualifications for entry and promotion in all branches and FA. e. AOC code and title. A three-character alpha numeric code identifies branch/FA and the associated areas of expertise followed by a descriptive title. f. AOC description of duties. A general statement explaining the duties of the positions within this AOC. This statement describes some representative tasks. This statement also includes an indication of skills, knowledge required, equipment used, and other pertinent occupational information. g. Special qualifications. A statement of skills, knowledge, edu- cation, training, experience and security requirements not explicitly defined in detail by the description of duties. DA Pam 600-3 con- tains detailed description of officer career progression training, edu- cation options and requirements. Security investigation or clearance requirements that apply only to designated activities or duty posi- tions are not included. These requirements are outlined in AR 380- 67 and other regulations governing assignment to special activities and programs. h. Special grading of positions. Designate those positions within the AOC that require special grading exception and cannot be graded under the standards in chapter 5.

i. Unique duty positions. Examples of duty positions appropriate and unique for the AOC. These positions are intended only as a guide in selecting descriptive titles. Also included are authorization documents and cover only the more generally used duty position titles. They should not be considered complete or applicable to all authorization documents. However, follow the duty positions titles to the maximum extent possible when documenting position requirements.

2–5. Composition and organization of skill specifications The specifications for skills are as follows: a. SI and title. A two-character numeric/alpha code description and descriptive title that identifies the skill. b. Skill description. A descriptive summary of the scope and distinguishing characteristic of the skill, made up of the following subparagraphs: (1) Description of positions. A short paragraph that identifies the scope and specific duties of the skill. (2) Qualification for award. A description of required education, training or other special qualifications an officer must meet for the skill. (3) Restrictions. A listing of any specific branch/FA and/or AOC or other applicable restrictions with which the skill may or may not be used. If restrictions are not shown, the skill may be used with any AOC. c. Skill proponent. The designated proponent assigned primary responsibility for establishing of qualifications criteria.

2–6. Changes to the officer classification system Recommendations to the officer classification system for additions, revisions or deletions should be submitted as provided in AR 611-1.

Section II Classification of Active Duty Officers

2–7. General This section provides the classification of officers on active duty or active duty for training (ADT) for more than 90 days. Army Medi- cal Department (AMEDD) officers, chaplains, and Judge Advocate General Corps (JAGC) officers are an exception.

2–8. Designation of branches, FA, AOC, skills and language identifiers T h e D i r e c t o r o f O f f i c e r P e r s o n n e l M a n a g e m e n t ( O P M D ) , PERSCOM, will designate branches, FA, AOC, skills (PERSCOM controlled skills) and language identifiers. This is based on the Army’s needs and each officer’s qualifications and desires. DA Pam 600-3 lists branch/FA qualification criteria. All officers will be com- missioned in one of the basic branches of the Army (AR 600-3). Officers may be branch transferred to meet changing Army require- ments at higher grade levels.

Section III Classification of AMEDD Officers

2–9. General This section provides for the classification of AMEDD officers on active Army or those serving in the Army Reserve.

2–10. Designation of medical AOC and skills a. AMEDD officers will be classified with no more than three AOCs. The designation (P) for primary, (S) for secondary, and (T) for tertiary will be used to indicate relative priority of the AOC classification. AMEDD officers may be classified with only those AMEDD AOC contained in chapter 3; however, they may serve in duty AOC as prescribed by The Surgeon General (TSG). b. Chapter 3 defines the basic criteria for award of AMEDD AOC. Because of the need to evaluate professional qualifications and experience, only the classification authorities defined in AR 611-1 may award an AMEDD AOC. This authority also redesig- nates an AMEDD AOC as (P), (S), or (T).

c. Chapter 4 describes skills that may be used to identify addi- tional qualifications of AMEDD officers. The proficiency designator in table proficiency designator in table 4-2, will be used to designate degree of proficiency in a particular AOC. d. AOCs will normally be designated for an individual AMEDD officer in the form of a 3-position code. However, the proficiency designator in table 4-2 may be designated in conjunction with the AOC to form a 5-position code. This designator indicates the offi- cer’s degree of proficiency in that particular AOC.

2–11. Procedures for classification a. Initial classification. The Surgeon General will accomplish initial classification of all AMEDD officers. The AOC for officers whose first active duty assignment is preceded by attendance at the AMEDD Officer Basic Course (OBC) at the Army Medical Depart- ment Center and School (AMEDDCS) will be furnished to the Commandant, AMEDDCS. AMEDDCS Commandant will direct that the AOC classification be submitted as a SIDPERS transaction, under AR 600-8-104 before the officer’s departure from school. b. Change in classification. Changes subsequent to initial classifi- cation will be accomplished based on a continuing evaluation of demonstrated professional competence. Specific reference is made to validation of current state license to practice nursing. (1) When an officer is considered qualified for classification with a secondary or additional AOC or skill, or when a change in pri- mary AOC is considered appropriate, commanders will submit rec- o m m e n d a t i o n s f o r c h a n g e s i n c l a s s i f i c a t i o n t o C o m m a n d e r , PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-OPH (appropriate career branch) for ac- tive army officers, or Commander, ARPERCOM, ATTN: DARP- OP-O (AMEDD), 9700 Page Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63132-5260, for USAR officers. The criteria contained in table 4-2 and in the AOC specifications will serve as a guide for submission of recom- mendations for AOC changes. A duty position occupied does not in i t s e l f r e q u i r e o r j u s t i f y a c h a n g e i n ( P ) , ( S ) , o r ( T ) A O C classification. (2) An annual review and evaluation of the classification of each Army Nurse Corps (ANC) officer will be made by the appropriate commander per the schedule shown in table 2-1. Recommendations resulting from this review will be forwarded to Commander, PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-OPH-AN, no later than the 15th day of the month following the review quarter. (3) On receipt of notification of specialty board certification of a Medical Corps (MC), Dental Corps (DC), or Veterinary Corps (VC) officer by an American Specialty Board or by the Federal Services Board of General Dentistry, a request for classification with a “9B” proficiency designator must be sent through command channels. Forward request to Commander, PERSCOM, ATTN: TAPC-OPH (appropriate career branch), or to Commander, ARPERCOM, ATTN: DARP-OP-O (AMEDD), as appropriate. The classification request must include appropriate documentation of the board certification. (a) On receipt of notification of certification of a MC, DC, and VC officer by their respective national organization specialty boards, AMEDD commanders are authorized to classify their as- signed officers with the “9B” proficiency designator. Notification of classification with a copy of the certification will be sent to Com- m a n d e r , P E R S C O M , A T T N : T A P C - O P H ( a p p r o p r i a t e c a r e e r branch) or to Commander, ARPERCOM, ATTN: DARP-OP-O (AMEDD), as appropriate. (b) Commanders of AMEDD facilities approved to conduct med- ical residency and/or dental residency and fellowship training are authorized to classify with the “9C” proficiency designator. The proficiency designator for medical and dental officers is awarded on completion of formal training meeting the American Specialty Board or the Federal Services Board of General Dentistry require- ments in a specialty field. (c) Commanders of AMEDD facilities approved to conduct medi- cal and/or dental residency (to include Advanced Education in Gen- e r a l D e n t i s t r y ( A E G D ) , 1 y e a r ) a n d f e l l o w s h i p t r a i n i n g a r e
