458 Dog Trainer

The June 1945 manual lists SSN 458 as Dog Trainer, with “See also 873, 897” tied specifically to the asterisk-marked Dog Trainer title in AR 615-26 (September 1942 and supplements). This cross-reference does not establish a split, cancellation, rename, or fixed replacement for SSN 458.

Documented history

Dog Trainer

June 1945 is the manual’s publication date; no effective date for a classification change is stated.

  • SSNs 873 and 897 were suggestions requiring individual qualification review against the job specifications, not automatic conversions.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the AR 615-26 column: Dog Trainer. Suggested conversions/remarks, as printed: *See also 873, 897. Asterisks bind the suggestions to the correspondingly marked earlier title, not to an unmarked present-title meaning. The Present Title column is the manual's June 1945 meaning: Dog Trainer. It is not a present-day MOS equivalence. This is a cross-reference or instruction to review the job specification, not an explicit fixed replacement or proof of cancellation. The table gives no row-level calendar effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an inferred individual conversion date.
