Notes & Sources

  • NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) defines officer designator 410X as: “A Chaplain Corps Officer”
  • The paired billet row (4100) is “requiring Chaplain specialty”. a billet requirement, not a qualification conferred on every 410X officer.
  • The designator row is an identity/qualification statement, not a duty description, so occupation-specific skills, career paths, and credential recommendations are not published here; duties depend on the billet and community qualification.
