2A2X1 Aircraft Electrical and Avionics Technician
Historical specialty
The 30 April 2026 AFECD change summary deletes AFSC 2A2X1 from the enlisted classification structure; its skill levels 2A211, 2A231, and 2A251 convert directly into 2A914, 2A934, and 2A954 (2A9X4 Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics). The in-force 30 April 2026 directory retitles the section Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics and retains 2A2X1 only in award-and-retention references, so this catalog incarnation is not a current specialty.

Notes & Sources
- Aircraft Electrical and Avionics Technician (2A2X1, MHU-139 Electrical, Environmental and Avionics Technician) is a retired identifier: the conversion instructions embedded in the DAFECD 30 Apr 26 delete AFSCs 2A211/2A231/2A251 effective 30 Apr 26 and convert holders to 2A914/2A934/2A954 (Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics).
- The in-force edition retains the section only as the retitled Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics specialty with legacy 2A231/2A251 award-and-retention references, so the old code alone does not establish current duties.
