Overview
The Jumpmaster specialty identifies positions that require incumbents to possess advanced airborne knowledge. These positions also require advanced airborne skills and behaviors.
Notes & Sources
- 5W (Jumpmaster) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army Infantry School), effective 2022-08, not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions requiring the incumbent to possess advanced airborne knowledge, skills and behaviors." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete an accredited Jumpmaster Course, conducted under the auspices of the U.S." Restrictions: "(1) For identification of personnel only in any MOS E5 and below." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
