Documented history

Operations

The position changes took effect on 7 November 1949. Personnel specialty conversion took effect on 1 February 1950; this was an effective date, not a completion deadline.

  • The record establishes conversion of the listed positions, not Army-wide cancellation of SSN 0814.
Source extraction notes

The instrument prints no field-wide rescinded-code list; only its explicit appendix T/O&E position conversions are asserted here. Operations positions convert to combat engineer operations under MOS 1729. The 5 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.

Operations NCO

In Infantry use, SSN 0814 (Operations NCO) was restricted: operations-chief, operations-sergeant and operations-specialist duties went to MOS 1814, while operations-assistant duties went to MOS 4814. Appendix exceptions assigned certain intelligence or first-sergeant positions formerly coded 0814 to MOS 4761, 1745 or 1761 instead.

The appendix’s position-code changes took effect on 29 April 1949, the regulation’s date, as expressly stated in paragraph 8a.

  • The Infantry restriction did not abolish 0814 throughout the Army.
Source extraction notes

Paragraph 6 restricts this SSN in Infantry use but does not rescind it Army-wide. Paragraph 6 assigns operations-chief/sergeant/specialist duties to 1814 and operations-assistant duties to 4814; appendix exceptions add 4761, 1745, and 1761 for intelligence or first-sergeant positions. 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.
