998 Administrative Inspector

The earlier AR 615-26 classification SSN 998, Administrative Inspector, was canceled for Marine Corps use, with the marked “None” indicating no Marine Corps specialty or named replacement. Special Assignment was the title for 998 in both June 1944 and June 1945, but this entry neither cancels that specialty nor establishes it as Administrative Inspector’s successor.

Documented history

Administrative Inspector

No calendar effective date is given for this change. June 1945 is the manual’s publication date, not an established cancellation date.

  • The asterisk ties “None” specifically to the earlier Administrative Inspector title.
  • This does not establish that the Army occupation was abolished.
Source extraction notes

Predecessor title from the AR 615-26 column: Administrative Inspector. Suggested conversions/remarks, as printed: *None. 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: Special Assignment. It is not a present-day MOS equivalence. None means no Marine Corps specialty is identified for this earlier meaning; it does not establish that the Army occupation was abolished. The table gives no row-level calendar effective date. June 1945 is the manual publication date, not an inferred individual conversion date.
