Notes & Sources
- 2S (Battle Staff NCO) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: Noncommissioned Officer Leadership Center of Excellence), effective 2020-10, not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "(1) Identifies positions requiring Soldiers trained to serve as a Battle Staff NCO and manage the day-to-day operations of corps, division, regiment, group, brigade, battalion, and squadron command posts." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete or have completed one of the following courses at the U.S." Restrictions: "(1) Personnel."
