Documented history

Platoon

The unit organization and equipment amendments took effect on 7 November 1949. The personnel specialty conversion took effect on 1 February 1950.

  • This establishes conversion of the listed positions, not an Army-wide cancellation of SSN 0651.
Source extraction notes

The instrument prints no field-wide rescinded-code list; only its explicit appendix T/O&E position conversions are asserted here. Platoon-leadership positions convert to combat construction foreman MOS 1729. The 3 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.

Platoon

In the Army's organization and equipment tables, SSN 0651 (Platoon) positions changed to MOS 1812 or 1745, depending on organization and grade. Platoon-guide positions changed to MOS 2745.

The changes took effect on April 29, 1949: paragraph 8a made the appendix's position conversions effective on the date of the regulation.

  • These were changes to specified positions, not a blanket cancellation of SSN 0651; the code was not listed as rescinded or restricted.
  • The available information does not specify which organizations and grades received 1812 rather than 1745.
Source extraction notes

This code is not in paragraph 5's rescission list or paragraph 6's restricted-use list; only the explicit appendix T/O&E position conversions are asserted here. Platoon positions convert by organization and grade to 1812 or 1745; platoon-guide positions convert to 2745. 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.
