649X Security Specialty LDO
Current service use not established
This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
A Navy officer classification, not an enlisted rating.
Overview
Security Specialty Limited Duty Officers lead and manage force protection, antiterrorism, physical security, law enforcement, and corrections operations. They protect assets by planning security and mission assurance programs, establishing responses to threats and vulnerabilities, and supervising access control, patrols, inspections, searches, and law enforcement operations.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) prints officer code 649X as “A Limited Duty Officer (Security)…”, paired with its Limited Duty Officer billet row (billet 6490 requiring the specialty); the row states who holds the code and which specialty the billet requires, not what duties every holder performs. See the cited block for the exact pairing text.
- Because the Navy carries no duty, training, or clearance prose at designator level, occupation-specific recommendations are not published here; a 649X officer’s duties depend on the assigned billet.
