Notes & Sources
- Special Operations Forces/Personnel Recovery Integrated Electronic Warfare Systems (2A2X3) is a retired identifier: the conversion instructions embedded in the AFECD 30 Apr 23 delete the 2A253/2A273 ladder and convert holders to 2A954/2A974 (Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics).
- The in-force directory carries no section for this code; electronic warfare maintenance is described in the 2A9X4 specialty and the retitled 2A0X1 avionics test station specialty, so the old code alone does not establish current duties.
