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.
