0648 Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Chief

The FY27 MOS table renames MOS 0648 from Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Chief to Electromagnetic Spectrum Maneuver Chief, retaining the same code. It also changes the specialty from NMOS to primary MOS (PMOS), so this is more than a title change.

The directory also lists 0648 Electromagnetic Spectrum Maneuver Chief. Current service use is not established for this directory entry.

Documented history

Electromagnetic Spectrum Management Chief

Paragraph 4001.1b schedules the active-component system conversion for October 1, 2026. This is the scheduled batch-change date, not a retraining completion deadline.

  • Reserve retraining for Prior Service MOS Retraining Program, Active Reserve and Selected Marine Corps Reserve Marines is required as needed and subject to available funds; entries for Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists instead use the headquarters conversion action shown on the unit's Diary Feedback Report as authority.
  • Formal schools and training detachments continue awarding current MOSs until a MARADMIN directs implementation of the conversions.
Source extraction notes

Renamed Electromagnetic Spectrum Maneuver Chief and changes NMOS to PMOS. Encoded as renamed because the allowed output vocabulary has no status-change value and the source also changes the title/status of the same code. NAVMC 1200.1M (FY27) paragraph 4001.1b schedules the active-duty-component MCTFS batch for 2026-10-01. Paragraph 4001.5 separately addresses Reserve retraining, subject to available funds for the specified groups, and records for Individual Mobilization Augmentees, Individual Ready Reservists and Standby Reservists. Paragraph 4002.3 keeps formal-school MOS awards unchanged until MARADMIN implementation direction. The scheduled batch date is not proof of an individual's qualification, retraining or record-update completion.
