Source extraction notes
The source explicitly creates two fully printed shredout codes from the previously identified 563X0 specialty; title-only renamings are not emitted separately. Verified source wording: “Environmental Support Specialty (AFSC 566X1). This specialty originated in May 1951 as AFSC 563X0, Water Supply and Sanitation. In September 1961, the title of the specialty was changed to Water and Waste Processing. In July 1971, the specialty was renamed Engineering Environmental Support and two shredouts were created: Water Supply and Treatment (563X0A) and Waste Water and Sanitation (563X0B).”
