2745 Light Weapons Assault Infantryman

The Army rescinded SSN 2745, Light Weapons Assault Infantryman, and converted its leadership and rifleman positions to MOS 1745, 2745, or 4745 according to grade and duty. The successor MOS 2745 reused the number for a different occupational meaning, rather than continuing the old SSN unchanged.

Documented history

Light Weapons Assault Infantryman

The position conversions took effect on 29 April 1949 because paragraph 8a made them effective on the regulation's date, not by a later completion deadline.

  • The available account does not specify which grades and duties led to each successor code.
Source extraction notes

Paragraph 5 rescinds this SSN. Leadership and rifleman positions convert by grade/duty to 1745, the reused numeric MOS 2745, or 4745. The same digits in predecessor and successor occupy different SSN/MOS namespaces and occupational meanings. 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.
