821 Quartermaster Supply Man

Appendix B lists SSN 821 as “Supply NCO” in the September 1942 Army regulation and supplements, and as “Quartermaster Supply Man” in both the June 1944 tentative manual and the June 1945 manual. Its instruction, “See job specification,” calls for review rather than establishing a cancellation, rename, or fixed replacement.

Documented history

Quartermaster Supply Man

June 1945 is the manual’s publication date; no effective date for a change to SSN 821 is stated.

  • The asterisked instruction applies to the marked earlier titles, with individual qualifications to be reviewed against the job specification.
  • The June 1945 title is a historical designation, not an equivalence to a modern occupation.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the June 1944 tentative-manual column: Quartermaster Supply Man. Suggested conversions/remarks, as printed: *See job specification. 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: Quartermaster Supply Man. 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.
