Source extraction notes

Paragraph 5 rescinds this SSN. The appendix visibly assigns 0188 to an ammunition-handler position, 1745 to platoon leadership, 2745 to platoon-guide leadership, 4745 to rifleman/messenger duties, and 1599 to one radiotelephone-operator position. 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.
