They research disease vectors and transmission, evaluate pesticides and dispersal equipment, develop pest management techniques, and train vector and pest management personnel.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part B (Edition 96, Jul 2026) lists subspecialty 1850 “Entomology” in its officer subspecialty table; the row carries the code title with its subspecialty manager/curriculum references only.
- The Navy source at code level contains no duty, training, or clearance prose: it identifies and indexes the subspecialty, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; a holder’s duties depend on their designator, billet, and qualification.
