Does MOS 42A or an HR role in the US Army have a Commissioned Officer path?

I have a question and I would appreciate a clarification... If MOS 42A (HR Specialist) has no officer position on the US Army website, how is it possible for an active duty HR specialist to be currently a Captain? I thought as an enlisted officer - one will be in the category of non-commissioned officers...

The series 42 is the Adjutant General Branch. 42A (HR specialist) is an enlisted MOS, while 42B (HR officer) is an officer AOC. AG Officers are 42Bs until they hit major, in which their AOC changes to 42H.

I believe AG is the only Branch where the Officer and Enlisted designator (A/B) are reversed.
