thread_title: I just removed the external link

message: MOS 09B: Basic Trainee is missing.  I suggest listing it under branch immaterial enlisted, along with Sgt. Maj.  Or perhaps it would be better to list all 09 series trainees together, officers, warrants, and enlisted?

message: It seems that this page is edited by a lot of non-registered users who don't leave edit summaries or any sort of reference, but merely change the page ( most recent example]. This is a hard thing to research; I can't just pop onto the web and verify things. Any opinions out there? I'm going to rollback this latest one, citing no verification, but it would be nice to get some feedback. Maybe a semi-page protect? Tanthalas39 (talk) 14:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. An explanation for the edit you note, though, is that the 25B MOS is an enlisted MOS, the 251 is a Warrant Officer. The enlisted MOS was correctly removed and the WO correctly added. Whoever did it, did it properly, but there should be more controls on how it is done.Will (talk) 01:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: IP edits with no summaries

message: The claims for the existence of MOS 35Q and 35V seem dubious. I don't see either of those at here. Also, they are done restructuring so I'm going to delete that notice. If anyone has any reliable sources for these MOS designations, feel free to show me them.--Goon Noot (talk) 13:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The intel branch section has some strange claims 

message: There are a large number of Enlisted MOS classifications repeated under the Officer section, and vice-versa. I think we need to consider combining all classifications into one list, or take a serious scrub of the redundancies between the E and O sections.Will (talk) 01:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I combined the 2 lists. It should be more intuitive now. Jigen III (talk) 10:33, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Significant amount of redundancy 

message: Is there a particular reason the various Officer Functional Areas are not sorted in with their respective branches/career fields?  For example, the Signal Corps includes the FA-24A/X (Listed seperately as the Telecommunications Systems Engineering FA and placed in between the Armor Branch and the Signal Corps Branch) and the FA-53A/X (Listed seperately as the Systems Automation Officer FA and placed in between the Nuclear and Counterproliferation FA and the Chaplain Branch).dunerat (talk) 22:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separation of Functional Areas from Branches? 

message: FM 8-10-14 (Employment of the Combat Support Hospital) says that the Intermediate Care Ward of a combat support hospital will include a captain (66H00) and two lieutenants (66H00 and 66J00).  According to this Wiki article, a 66H is a Med-Surg Nurse, but 66J isn't listed.... 24.61.4.237 (talk) 00:00, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  66J? 

message: I am a little unclear on why this article refers to the various Army Corps as "Branches." Is this some administrative category? I was in the Transportation Corps during my Army service and not once did I hear it referred to as the "Transportation Branch." Most of the articles linked to in this article are Corps.

replies: text: *Nothing new. For example, I was in the Military Police Corps, but MP Branch is who handled all personnel assignments for enlisted, warrant and commissioned officers. The Logistics Branch includes Transportation and Ordnance Corps. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:57, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Logistics Branch: http://www.alu.army.mil/alog/issues/marapr08/cascom_g_interview.html "In response to a growing need for all logistics officers to be multiskilled logisticians, the Army established the Logistics branch on 1 January 2008. Rather than being singularly focused on one of the existing branches, the new Logistics branch joins Ordnance, Quartermaster, and Transportation officers into one unified branch at the rank of captain. During their advanced officer training, the Combined Logistics Captains Career Course, these officers are trained to anticipate requirements and plan, integrate, and execute all types of deployment and sustainment activities."  71.233.90.196 (talk) 22:10, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Information Network Engineering provides the Army with a professional core of officers able to lead and manage highly technical Soldiers, units, and activities that develop, build, operate, maintain and defend the Army’s portion of the Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN) in support of unified land operations.  Information Network Engineers are skilled in systems engineering, project management and the application of best business practices to provide secure information solutions to Army and DOD users.  They apply their skills and in-depth technical knowledge to enable the Army’s globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities, communications and computer network engineering, associated processes and personnel for collecting, processing, storing, transporting, disseminating, and managing information on demand to commanders, policy makers and support personnel.  They know and understand cyberspace computer and communication network infrastructure engineering, information systems engineering and cybersecurity essential to the DODIN. Information Network Engineering officers assess, engineer, integrate, secure, validate, and manage current and emerging communications, computer systems and information technologies to include local, wide area, voice, classified and unclassified cyberspace networks and systems, as well as evaluate technologies, create technical specifications for integrating technologies, and perform project management functions in order to acquire, implement, and operate technologies.  Information Network Engineering officers are essential to providing and defending the Army’s portion of the DODIN and planning, synchronizing, and enabling friendly effects in and through the cyberspace domain.
FA50 text:
FA50 is found within the Operational Support Functional Category. Functional Area 50 officers – Army Force Managers – understand the art and
science of "how the Army runs." 
FA50 officers are uniquely trained and educated creative managers of change. They are integrated in both Army and Joint missions.
FA50 officers are qualified in the critical aspects of the force management
process.
FA50s create mission ready, campaign quality expeditionary forces for the Combatant
Commander. Force Management officers translate strategy into structure while advising Army leaders on the second- and third-order effects of their Force Management decisions. 
They are self-disciplined, strategic thinkers and are problem solvers for Army and
Joint Senior Leaders.
FA50s design organizations (Capabilities Development), build structure (TAA), allocate manpower and equipment (PPBE), execute
organizational authorizations (MTOEs & TDAs), coordinate activations/inactivation's/ reorganizations, analyze and develop new
requirements, build investment strategies POM, manage equipment distribution and NET and conduct the processing and analysis of Operational Needs Statement (ONS). 
Force management is the overarching means for utilizing Force Development and Force Integration.
Force Development is the process of determining Army doctrinal, organizational, training, materiel leader/soldier development and facility requirements and translating them into programs
and structure, within allocated resources, to accomplish Army missions and functions.

FA57 Home Page
FA57 Video
Simulation Operations (FA57) officers provide the Total Army with a technically educated and tactically grounded cadre of officers specializing in the core areas of Modeling and Simulation Operations (M&S), Mission Command Systems Integration and Operational Knowledge Management (KM).  FA57 officers possess the unique skill set required to carry out the Army Training Strategy directives, incorporate the Integrated Training Environment (ITE) and U.S. Army Learning Concept. FA57 officers integrate Army Mission Command Systems to invigorate home station training and optimize resources to confront the increasingly complex environment and uncertain future.  FA57 officers assist commanders to accomplish diverse training objectives by leveraging virtual and constructive capabilities to produce operationally ready and adaptable leaders and forces.
During the "reset / train" as well as the "ready" phases of the ARFORGEN cycle, the FA57 is primarily utilized as a trainer in support of mission preparation and Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MRE/MRX). In the "available" phase of the ARFORGEN cycle, the FA57 not only serves as a trainer, but performs as the Battle Command Officer (BCO) or Knowledge Management Officer (KMO) translating information into operational knowledge. FA57s exercise the related tasks and systems that develop and integrate [cross functional] activities enabling a commander to balance the art of command and the science of control in order to integrate the other warfighting functions.  FA57s are grounded by doctrine in the ADP/ADRP 3-0, 5-0, 6-0, 7-0 series, FM 6-0.1 and consistently leverage Unit Training Management systems and concepts in every position to which they are assigned.
FA57 currently has 304 authorizations in the Active Army and 209 in the Reserve Component (both in the generating and operational force) with ranks ranging from captain to colonel. The makeup of the FA57 officer population includes 81% from Maneuver, Fires, and Effects Branches with 35% of those officers having Combat Training Center (CTC) Observer Controller experience.

message: Do we know anything about US Army specialties in World War II? --Paul, in Saudi (talk) 15:09, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  WWII 

message: I'm wondering if the addition of ASIs might be useful. Specifically in the medical fields (Medical Corps, Dental Corps, Nurse Corps) these ASIs are used to identify specific sub specialties. For example, A 62B Field Surgeon with the M7 ASI is sub-specialized as a Diving Medical Officer, which a 60W Psychiatrist with an 8C ASI is a sub-specialist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. In dental corps a 63B Comprehensive Dentist with a N6 ASI is a sub-specialist in Pain Medicine. and a 73B Clinical Psychologist with an N5 ASI is a Forensic Behavioral Health Science Officer. These are just some examples.
