Notes & Sources
- Mobility Air Forces Integrated Communication/Navigation/Mission Systems (2A8X1) is a retired identifier: the conversion instructions embedded in the AFECD 30 Apr 23 delete the 2A851/2A871 ladders and convert holders to 2A954/2A974 (Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics).
- The in-force directory carries no section for this code; integrated communication, navigation, and mission systems work on airlift and tanker aircraft is described in the 2A9X4 specialty, so the old code alone does not establish current duties.
