541 Bridge Foreman

Appendix B identifies SSN 541 as Bridge Foreman under AR 615-26 of September 1942 and its supplements, and suggests SSNs 035 or 059 as possible conversions. These were not automatic successors: each Marine’s Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the job specifications before selecting a replacement.
