No mos is more important than any other. Cooks need supply who need mechanics the only mos we really don't need are 88m I can teach anyone to drive.

Hello SGT Szewczyk, You may have guessed that I am in water purification field. All MOS's are important of course to support in operations!

tread heads , gun bunny's , ground pounders are not worth 2 cents. with out there medic`s , truck drivers, & there maintains . with out them there would be NO Food , Fuel , or Ammo. un less they were using sling shoots. so support mos's are #1. every thing elece is #2

I'm a 92M (Mortuary Affairs Specialist) and during wartime we have the most difficult MOS in the Army. Not every Soldier can do what we do. We all see the end result of war and its our responsibility to ensure our fallen brothers and sisters in arms are taken care of and sent back to their loved ones. Not knocking any other MOS but I do believe we should be considered in the top 10 MOS list.

All MOS's are important. Without each, we are missing vital parts of our 'cohesive unit'. I'm partial to the Combat Medic; being one myself. We are all trained as soldiers first, then our MOS second; or our speciality. The Army spent much time and money training me as a 68W including what I got from my first unit and two deployments to warrant focusing my job on that: being a Medic. I had no desire to do more than one MOS in any of their respective levels of expertise.
I can teach almost anyone, to a lesser degree what I did and over time efficiently. IMO, the Army is ranked and MOS'd accordingly.

42B. Without your admin warriors you don't get paid. Without money you don't eat. Without food you don't live. :)

11B or 19K depending on who you ask.
Of course, every branch, and every job matters. No one can do this alone, and we all think what do is the best and matters most. I am a maneuver support Soldier. But, since you asked, it would all come down to why we all exist. We all exist to support Maneuver, so that would put maneuver at the top of the list - (1) Infantry, then (2) Armor/Cavalry, then (3) FA, then (4) Engineers, then (5) Logistics (all), then (6) Aviation, Medics (7), then of course MPs (8), and of course SF (9) needs to be in there. No civilian support ... (10) we need Food Service. Yes, I know those are branches, and not MOSs. The top 10 really matters not, as the center of the Army universe is the 11B or the 19K. Between those to it all depends on who you ask. Armor believes infantry exists to support Armor, and Infantry believes Armor exists to support them.... All of the rest of us exist to support them.

I'm biase as to my important MOS's
1.any of the 18 prefix's we operate out side army doc sometime and with civilian population
2. 11B
3. 95
4. 76y
5. 76c the reason of this is we need stucture and pecurment and paperwork is important ( sorry if my MOS class is possibly outdated I retired in 99)
6. Enegineer ( can't remember what that MOS was)
7. 91(medic/nurses see told you I was outdated)
8.drivers and mechanics
9 cooks( if you ever tasted SSG Roses cooking you would know why we did away with it for a while)
10.intel we need to know what's going on around us at all times
This may not be of use or even what the SGT was wanting to know but this is also how have surrounded myself in case of a disaster

1. Infantry, wars are decided on who is standing where not aircraft.
2. Supply: an army travels on its stomach(Julius Ceaser).
3. Medical: Conserve the fighting strength as replacements are tough to get.
4. Intelligence.: know your foe and the terrain
5. Command or TOC: plan with conviction and be flexible: WAR IS CAOS!
6. evaluate the objective: Is the means to an end showing.
7. Have an EXIT strategy. What is next?
8. Conflicts today just do not end, they simmer. Have a plan of reentry with triggers
9. Create denial zones to form pinch points as a means of ending conflicts. This would be the forgotten Engineers who work with 2 and four to make the end swiftly thus lessening casualties and equipment.
10. The chemical core is always there to keep sanitation and use of non lethal means to keep control and capture foes and equipment.

One of the things that the SEABEES/Engineers should be doing during peacetime could be the making of a dock for a river assault. A dinghy dock with a manual hoist would be an excellent choice for Lake Pendleton which could be refined into areas in South America for the fight on drugs and insurgents. Remember not all conflicts are in deserts. Notice the small boats are on end to make more space and easier launching with only two personnel also there is a manual crane to lift supplies for units needing supplies. This could remade of plastic lumber and flown to location for fast staging. Might be a good drill for the SEABEES (can DO) and benefit others. Yes, we found out the brown water navy was necessary and maybe it needs to be looked at in these days of conflicts in tough terrain.

SGT Robert Junior - Also, I would look at rammed earth building. Housing refugees in safe zones to remove them from the conflict area. Environmental Solution International has such a machine for fifteen years. Why not add that to the beaver tail.
