What do you think the 10 most important MOSs in the Army are? And list them in order. Under the assumption that the Army is operating as a self sufficient unit with no civilian support.

That's like asking me which one of my children is most important. They all are important. Each MOS has a unique function that makes the Army a well-oiled machine. Each affects the other.

I guess the first question would be "Important to who?" In Vietnam, it was the DJ's on AFVN, because they brought a touch of home to the service members, and were a huge boost to morale.

Command saw it differently. They saw the troops in the field, carrying out the missions sent down, as being the most important pieces of the pie. They often expressed the opinion that broadcasters had over inflated egos, and were a collection of screwballs and nuts.

The bottom line, is that everyone is important. They all contribute, in their own way, to accomplishing the military mission.

Though many might disagree with this list here is how I see it.
1. 11B for most wars 11B have been the mainstay on a battlefield as the lead element so that why I put it first.
2. 19 series: no one wants to go to war without armor and cav scouts.
3- 4. 13 and 14 series: fire support and anti-air though two different jobs are equally important on the battlefield.
5. 15 series got to have avaition for moving supplies, bodies, and most importantly air support.
6. 91B and H got be able to fix the vehicles when they go down.
7. 68W got fix Joe when he goes down can be swapped if I get hit to number one as anyone else would also agree.
8. 92Y Joe needs supplies to fight.
9. 88M because you got to get the supplies to Joe somehow.
10. 56A someone got to pray for Joe

In all honesty there isn't an MOS that can't go on this list and be at the 1 spot. It just depends on the situation. You commo goes down then the commo guy is the most important at that moment. Tanks are in play then tankers are number 1. Their is no mos more important or least important during war. In the back forty training then it is whatever unit you are in.

Not to be trite, but all MOSs are important or they wouldn't be in Army. Obviously you need combat forces but any General knows combat troops without good support and logistics will be defeated. It's like askin is your left or right eye more important.

Just curiosity mainly. I obviously get why it's a silly question, but just entertain it and pick your 10 if you would.

There is absolutely no way that the Army operates without contractors anymore, too many pieces of equipment that have civilian support due to how new they are to military.

Too many pockets lined with money. We are supporting those who are getting rich off of military programs and we know it! I've been a contractor doing a fraction of what I did while in the Army for 4 times the pay. We could revert but it boils down to the fact that if a contractor gets wounded in Afghanistan they don't get VA compensation the rest of their lives. That comes out to a lot of money.

Contractors are their to line peoples pockets with money. Which is cheaper a private who can run a train or a contractor. Stupid officers,
