A different MOS for combat engineers?
Article Abstract:
Separation of combat engineers (military occupational specialty (MOS) 1371), into two distinct MOSs would allow combat engineers to specialize in one of the two main roles that the community fills, namely, providing direct support to the infantry and construction and bridging. A discussion on what changes should be made to entry-level training for combat engineers focuses on the group of 1371s that would spend their Operating Forces tours in divisional units.
