Documented history

Light Weapons NCO

Paragraph 8a made the position conversions effective on 29 April 1949, the date of the regulation, rather than setting a later completion deadline.

  • The code alone does not identify which successor applied; the conversion depended on the position held.
Source extraction notes

Paragraph 5 rescinds this SSN. The reused old SSN converts by position to 1745 for light first-sergeant duty, 2745 for platoon-guide duty, or 4812 for rifle-gunner/ammunition-bearer duty. 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.
