Notes & Sources
- W7 (Special Forces Underwater Operations) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School), effective 2020-11, not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions requiring participation in special forces, underwater operations." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete ONE of the following: 1." Restrictions: "For use with MOS 11B, 11Z, 18B, 18C, 18D, 18E, 18F, 18Z and 92R 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.
