MOS List

The standard Infantryman capable of serving in multiple capacities. Most commonly assigned to assault elements, but can be assigned to support teams as well.

The AT role requires training and certification on the M4 MAAWs (Gustaf) and it's different munitions. After successfully completing the AT certification and stepping into an AT role you will be tasked with engaging enemy armored elements either as part of an assault element or a heavy weapons support team.

Riflemen with an upgrade. Grenadiers trade their bayonet for a M203 under-barrel grenade launcher and undergo additional frag grenade training. After being certified as a Grenadier and stepping in to an available role you will most commonly be assigned to assault elements, and will be called upon for helping engage heavily fortified enemies using your 40mm to break defenses at a distance and frags to hit gaps up close.

Machine Gunners fill a variety of roles and are critical to mission success, and therefore, like the roles prior, require additional training and certifications on the MG systems. A machine gunner can be assigned to both assault elements and support teams and the weapon system they carry depends on the mission they are tasked with.

​

A machine gunner assigned to an assault element will carry a M249, providing close suppressing fire and helping to keep the rear of the element secure as it moves to and through the OBJ.

​

A machine gunner assigned to a support fire team will carry the M240B and will be tasked with area suppression from a distance to aid the assault team as they hit the OBJ.

Designated Marksman can be assigned to either Assault or Support Fire teams. Tasked primarily with mid-range engagements and counter sniping, a designated marksman does not carry the same reconnaissance or long range engagement responsibilities of a sniper and typically moves as part of a 4 man team or larger element rather than the sniper's two man teams. Requires certification on DMR systems and excellent marksmanship.

A sniper's primary job is not to take out targets, but to observe and report on the enemy. To ensure high quality snipers the training process for snipers at the 23rd Combat Brigade is an extensive and selective process.
