Requirements-Based Restructuring of Army Military Occupational Specialties

Abstract

In 1988, the U.S. Army Signal Center requested a focused examination of Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) restructuring issues in the Army's Signal Branch. Phase one of this effort focused on operations-based MOS restructuring at the personnel proponent level. This first document of phase two will extend this effort into requirements-based restructuring that occurs as part of developing and fielding new doctrine, organizations, or equipment systems. This research note establishes the baseline for requirements-based MOS restructuring using new equipment specifications as the triggering mechanism for restructuring. The baseline is drawn in terms of existing policies, practices, and methods used by Army combat developers to determine MOS structure needs. This document provides the foundation for identification and development of methods to improve requirements-based MOS restructuring at the training center or service school level.
