Merging Data and Wire Marines

Abstract

The integration of voice and data communications technology and recent operational employment of communicators demands the creation of a new military occupational specialty (MOS). The career path for field wiremen (0612) and data network specialists (0651) needs to be improved so the Marine Corps can operate new communications equipment similar to the transition switch module (TSM). Ongoing training initiatives within other military services and commercial industries must be benchmarked for determining a better way of training communicators. Because of redundancy in existing training and fielding of new equipment, changes to the MOS manual must be made to combine the 0612 and 0651 specialties into a new cable and subscriber equipment (CASE) MOS.
