Documented history

Gunner, machine gun · Converted to 5729, effective February 1, 1950

The instrument prints no field-wide rescinded-code list; only its explicit appendix T/O&E position conversions are asserted here. Machine-gunner and assistant-gunner positions convert to pioneer MOS 5729. The 4 position-level source assertion(s) are collapsed into this one canonical predecessor event, preserving first-source successor order. Personnel MOS conversion is effective 1 February 1950; the appendix's T/O&E position amendments took effect 7 November 1949. The predecessor remains in the SSN namespace; successors are numeric MOS codes.

Paragraph 6 restricts this SSN in Infantry use but does not rescind it Army-wide. Paragraph 6 makes the destination duty/grade-dependent: 1745/2745 for light-weapons leaders, 4745 for light-weapons infantrymen, 1812/2812 for heavy-weapons leaders, and 4812 for heavy-weapons infantrymen. Repeated position-level change-sheet rows are collapsed into this one canonical predecessor event, preserving first-source successor order. The predecessor remains in the SSN namespace; successors are numeric MOS codes.
