761 Scout

Appendix B suggests SSN 636 for the earlier SSN 761 Scout classification listed under AR 615-26 (September 1942 and supplements), not for the unmarked Scout-Sniper title. This was not an automatic conversion: each individual's Qualification Card had to be reviewed against the manual's job specifications.

Documented history

Scout

June 1945 is the manual's publication date; no calendar effective date is given for this suggested reclassification.

  • SSN 761 is titled Scout-Sniper in both the June 1944 tentative-manual column and the June 1945 Present Title column. The asterisk links the suggestion of 636 specifically to the earlier Scout title.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the AR 615-26 column: Scout. Suggested conversions/remarks, as printed: *636. 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: Scout-Sniper. It is not a present-day MOS equivalence. These are suggested reclassifications subject to individual Qualification Card and job-specification review, not automatic or present-day equivalents. The table gives no row-level calendar effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an inferred individual conversion date.
