    1.	PURPOSE. This manual provides a method of classifying enlisted personnel according to civilian occupational experience and skill. The accurate classification of enlisted personnel is essential to—
    a.	Procurement and assignment on the basis of specific abilities.
    b.	Appropriate selection of enlisted personnel for special technical training.
    c.	Efficient wartime requisitioning of qualified enlisted personnel.
    d.	Insure maximum utilization of civilian education, experience, and skills.
    e.	Orderly demobilization and return of enlisted personnel to gainful civilian employment.
    2.	CIVILIAN OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTY AND SPECIFICATION SERIAL NUMBER.
    a.	Definition of a Civilian Occupational Specialty—
    (1)	No single criterion has been followed in determining what constitutes a job classification. For some it is the duties of the jobs; for others the industrial surroundings or circumstances in which the job exists.
    (2)	The determining factor in establishing a job classification on the basis of duties performed may be the machines operated, the articles produced, the material worked with, the machine attachments used or other considerations. However, the general principle followed throughout is that jobs that require the same
    experience, techniques, or abilities on the part of the worker are classified together.
    (3)	For military purposes, therefore, a civilian occupational specialty may be defined as a group of related duties and responsibilities normally requiring the same kind of special knowledge and skills acquired through training, experience, or education.
    b.	Identification of a Civilian Occupational Specialty. In order to facilitate easy reference and to insure exactness and uniformity, each civilian occupational specialty is identified by a separate job classification title and a specification serial number (SSN).
    3.	ORGANIZATION AND USE OF JOB SPECIFICATIONS.
    a.	Basis for Job Specifications. The civilian occupational specialties in this manual were determined and selected by an analysis of civilian occupations which have—
    (1)	A direct military counterpart.
    (2)	No direct military counterpart but an indirect and useful conversion to military jobs.
    (3)	No direct or indirect military counterpart but representing a high frequency of occurrence in civilian life.
    b.	Organization of a Job Specification. The following elements are embraced in civilian job specifications:
    (I)	A descriptive job classification title consistent with other titles.
    1
    TM 12-426 CIVILIAN OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF ENLISTED PERSONNEL 1 JULY 44
    3-4
    (2)	A specification serial number (SSN).
    (3)	“Dictionary of Occupational Titles”* code number. The Dictionary of Occupational Titles code number most applicable to the civilian occupational specialty has been used. In cases where the civilian occupational specialty covers two or more Dictionary of Occupational Titles codes, a grouping code has been used.
    (4)	Related jobs. Where a civilian occupational specialty is known by other titles established by common practice or usage, or is closely related to other jobs in civilian life, related job titles which show the scope of the specialty are indicated. Ordinarily, only the main title and specification serial number will be entered on the Soldier’s Qualification Card W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 20. However, where a related title more readily identifies the specialty, the related title will be listed in parentheses after the main title.
    (5)	The job description consisting of—
    (a)	A summary statement of the predominant duties.
    (b)	Typical tasks normally falling within the occupational specialty.
    (c)	A statement of special qualifications indicating knowledge and skills required for adequate performance of the specialty.
    (d)	Where applicable, a list of tools and equipment used.
    (e)	Where necessary, education or experience requirements.
    (6) Suggested Military Occupational Assignment.
    (a)	Group I. A list of suggested military occupational specialties (MOS) to which the civilian occupational specialist may be converted with a minimum of military training necessary for familiarization with military methods and equipment, and showing the Arms or Services in which the specialties are most commonly found, is indicated. The Arms and Services are suggested only in those branches wherein quantity assignments are made, and not in cases where occasional specialists are required. For more specific and detailed information regarding assignments to Arms or Services, the Requirement and Replacement Rate Tables (W615-70-43) should be consulted.
    (6)	Group II. This group contains a list of military occupational specialties to which the civilian occupational specialist is not directly convertible, but in which ultimate conversion will require additional military training and
    experience. These lists are not exhaustive but are merely a representative group of suggested assignments.
    4.	INTERPRETATION AND USE OF JOB SPECIFICATIONS.
    a.	Interpretation of the Job Description. The job descriptions in this manual are intended for use as a guide to interviewing and proper classification. Each is a condensed presentation of the job factors characteristic of the civilian occupational specialty. In very general terms, it describes the kind of work involved and is intended not to describe completely and specifically all the duties, but only to indicate the range or scope of the civilian occupational specialty. Due to variations in procedure and organization in private and public enterprise, they do not permit literal and strict application. However, educational requirements, where specified, should be observed.
    b.	Use of Principal Title and Specification Serial Number. In order to assure the maximum use of civilian occupations, experience and training, every effort should be made to classify civilian occupations under an appropriate Principal Title and Specification Serial Number, because each job then is immediately identifiable by a descriptive title or SSN. The determination of which classification is to be used depends upon the sound judgment of the classification personnel using this manual in addition to following the instructions outlined in section VI, TM 12-425 (when published).
    c.	Use of Related Job Titles. Related job titles appearing in the index may be used to locate the principal title and SSN under which related occupations will be classified. Recording of related titles on the Soldier’s Qualification Card, W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 20, will be confined to situations indicated in paragraph 3b (4).
    d.	Use of Specification Serial No. 010, Not Elsewhere Classified. (1) If an appropriate title cannot be located in TM 12-426 record the title as listed in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. If an appropriate title cannot be located in either TM 12-426 or the Dictionary of Occupational Titles enter a suitable descriptive title for the occupation. Where a Dictionary of Occupational Titles title is used or where, in lieu of such title, a suitable descriptive title is used, the industry in which the soldier was employed may be indicated, in parentheses, after such titles, if considered necessary for

    clarity. Job titles not found in TM 12-426 or the Dictionary of Occupational Titles will be followed by the letters n.e.c., in parentheses, representing “not elsewhere classified,” as “(n.e.c.).” SSN 010 will be appropriately recorded on W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 20. The SSN 010 does not represent a civilian occupational specialty. It is a number established to control and group those civilian occupations which are not classifiable in this manual. It should never be used until an exhaustive search has been made to find a civilian occupational specialty under which the civilan occupation will fit, even though the title by which the job was identified in civilian life is different, or the duties performed do not conform identically to those described under the listed title.
    (2	) A survey of Soldier’s Qualification Cards from reception centers indicated that a very high percentage of the enlisted men classified with the Specification Serial No. 010 (not elsewhere classified) had occupational specialties which should have placed them under listed specialties, but who were classified 010 merely because the title was not exactly as shown in regulations, or because their qualifications did not completely conform to the description in the regulation.
    (3	) As an example, a soldier was given the title of “Routeman,” and the Specification Serial No. 010, even though performing the duties of routeman necessitated the daily driving of a light truck. This man should have been classified as Truck Driver, Light—345. The fact that the delivery of merchandise was part of the work performed should not have influenced the interviewer to refrain from classifying the soldier as a 345, Truck Driver, Light.
    5.	DETERMINATION OF MAIN (MCO) AND SECOND BEST CIVILIAN OCCUPA-TIONS. (See sec. VI, TM 12-425). The Soldier’s Qualification Card W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 20 provides for the recording of the main and, where applicable, the second best occupations. In determining main (MCO) and second best occupations, consideration should be given to—
    a.	Interview information such as education, type of work, job training, recency of experience, number of years employed and wages.
    b.	Degree of skill. Civilian occupational specialists are rated, where appropriate, either as skilled or semiskilled as follows:
    (1)	Skilled (SK). If the enlisted man was able to perform the duties of his occupation
    without supervision beyond that inherent in the job itself.
    (2)	Semiskilled (S-SK). If the enlisted man performed similar civilian duties but required direct and immediate supervision.
    c.	As an aid in determining the main and second best occupations and the degree of skill involved, use should be made of available trade tests.
    6.	USE OF SUGGESTED MILITARY ASSIGNMENTS.
    a.	By Reception Centers. The military occupational specialties and the arms or services suggested with the job specification may be used in making recommended assignments and substitutions and in filling requisitions from reception centers. In this connection, reference should be made to Replacement and Requirement Rate Tables (W615-70-43), and TM 12-427.
    b.	By Replacement Training Centers, Replacement Depots, and Field Units. The military occupational specialties suggested with the job specifications may be used by RTC’s and other appropriate organizations in making assignments to training commensurate with civilian skills. Replacement Depots may use these data in making substitutions for filling requisitions where enlisted men with the required MOS’s are not available. Field Units may use it in filling Table of Organization vacancies on unit activation or when filler replacements come direct from reception centers.
    7.	USE OF THE ALPHABETICAL INDEX.
    a.	The index (sec. IV) to this manual contains a complete cross-index of the civilian occupation specialties. It contains—
    (1)	Principal titles. These are descriptive titles in capital letters and are the exact designations found in sections II and III. Except for those cases where a related title will be recorded in parentheses together with the principal title, the Soldier’s Qualification Card, W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 20, will reflect only the principal or main title. Titles in which “OR” is found indicate that either word may be used in recording the principal title. For example, MEAT OR DAIRY INSPECTOR, 120, would be entered either as MEAT INSPECTOR, 120, or DAIRY INSPECTOR, 120, or MEAT OR DAIRY INSPECTOR, 120, if qualified for both.
    (2)	Related titles. These are descriptive titles listed in lower case letters with initial capitals. These titles are included in order to facilitate
    3
    TM 12-426
    7-8
    CIVILIAN OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF ENLISTED PERSONNEL
    1 JULY 44
    location of the civilian occupational specialties (principal or main titles) to which they refer.
    (3)	Cross-index titles. The cross-index titles, also listed in lower case letters with initial capitals, are rearrangements of principal and related titles and provide for easy location of civilian occupational specialties when the exact principal or related titles are not known.
    b.	A title cannot be completely descriptive of a specialty. It is important, therefore, that reference be made to the content of the specification before a specification serial number and title are selected.
    8.	SUGGESTED CHANGES, CORRECTIONS, OR REVISIONS OF CIVILIAN OCCUPATIONAL SPECIALTIES. In order to maintain this manual, additions, changes, corrections, and revisions may be required from time to time. The cooperation of classification officers is essential in keeping subject matter in this manual current with military requirements. In order to insure careful consideration of changes, it is requested that information be furnished The Adjutant General, Classification and Replace

    b.	This alphabetic index contains a detailed listing of occupations to facilitate easy reference to the civilian occupational specialties included in this manual. The titles as listed are not intended to be completely descriptive of a specialty, and it is important, therefore, that reference be made to the content of the job description before a code and title are selected.
    c.	Included in this index are references to occupational groupings in various industries covering a large variety of skills and knowledge. The procedure for coding individual occupations in these groups will be as follows:
    (1	) Where possible, the most appropriate
    civilian specialty as listed in this manual will be determined and recorded on the W. D., A. G. O. Form No. 20.
    (2	) Where no specialty code is applicable and the work is of a laboring or unskilled nature, use Laborer, Construction, SSN 188; or Laborer, SSN 590, whichever is appropriate.
    (3	) Where no suitable SSN exists and the work is not of a laboring nature, SSN 010, Not Elsewhere Classified, may be used. The use of SSN 010 should be restricted only to those cases where the enlisted man or woman possesses a civilian skill not classifiable by this manual. Before assigning SSN 010, the interviewer should carefully re-evaluate the civilian experience of an individual and determine whether an appropriate code is available. The judicious use of SSN 010 will reduce the large number of occupations incorrectly classified by this code.
