What is MOS?
Military Occupational Specialty — the Army's code for a soldier's job.
Definition
Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) is the Army and Marine Corps system for categorizing and assigning soldiers and Marines to specific roles. An MOS is typically a two-digit number followed by a letter: 11B (Infantry), 68W (Combat Medic), 25U (Signal Support). Your MOS shapes your career trajectory, your deployment profile, your pay grade progression, and — often — your personality. Ask a veteran their MOS and you'll learn a lot about who they are.
