Documented history

Heavy Weapons Assault Crewman

The position conversions took effect on 29 April 1949: paragraph 8a makes them effective on the date of the regulation, rather than setting a later completion deadline.

  • The successor depended on the position held; the record does not establish one universal replacement code for everyone classified under SSN 2812.
Source extraction notes

Paragraph 5 rescinds this SSN. Heavy-weapons gunner/filler positions convert to 4812; one radiotelephone position visibly converts to 1599; some section/squad-leader rows retain digits 2812 under the new MOS meaning. 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.
