Documented history

Operator, radiotelephone

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

  • SSN 1599 was not listed for rescission or restricted use, so these position changes do not establish an Army-wide cancellation of the code.
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. Radiotelephone-operator positions convert to 4761 in intelligence/scout use or to 4812 in heavy-weapons use. 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.
