Notes & Sources
- CUCS is the paygrade E-8 Senior Chief Constructionman compressed rating: the CN chapter career-path table marks CUCS as the E-8 rating compression for Builder, Engineering Aid and Steelworker and states 'CUCS = Senior Chief Constructionman'.
- The identifier does not record the holder's source construction rating; verified duty evidence is published on the BU, EA and SW pages.
- Because the duty specialty cannot be attributed to this code alone, occupation-specific skills, career paths and credentials are not offered here.
