These positions require Soldiers qualified to record and prepare verbatim transcripts of testimony, arguments, and activities from courts-martial and administrative and other boards.
Notes & Sources
- C5 (Court Reporter) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army Judge Advocate General Legal Center and School), not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions in staff and command judge advocate sections, legal/mobilization services organizations, and court-martial trial teams (JAGSO) requiring Soldiers qualified to record and prepare verbatim transcripts of the testimony …" Award requirement: "Soldiers must have: (1) Grade of 12.9 on English reading, language, and spelling portion of the Test of Adult Basic Education, Form D (TABE-A)." Restrictions: "For use with MOS 27D (skill level 1-4) only." 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.
