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.

Supply, Fuelers, Transportation, Medics, Chaplains, Mechanics, Engineers (Essayons!), Artillery , Armor and Infantry. Supply gets us stuff, fuelers and Transportation bring it, Medics keep us supplied with Motrin and stop us from bleeding, Chaplains remind us who we are and keep our heads straight, Console us and pray for those who have sacrificed the most. Mechanics keep us moving, Engineers (well we do everything, lol), Artillery (enough said), Armor, (because we can) and of course.... infantry to close with, engage and kill the enemy. If you had asked for the top 11 I'd have added cooks, (good or bad there is something special about coffee and a hot meal), or the top 100 we would keep filling slots, from Intel to CID, Those wonderful Helicopters, SF, and et al.... because it is together that we make up the the most awesome fighting force on the planet

I find it interesting how you are able to distinguish(for the most part) a officer from a enlisted

I'm a mechanic and I kinda consider our MOS useless considering the fact that we don't necessarily rebuild or fix we instead change parts. Anyone can take bolts of and troubleshoot a problem. Not very many know how everything works and how to properly rebuild. I mean don't get me wrong mechanics help maintain vehicles but the true people who in sure if the vehicles are mission ready are the operators. They do the PMCS and keep up with fluids. We just replace what's broke

Dude as a mechanic in both the military and in civilian life believe me NOT everyone can troubleshoot.. you would be surprised how many people can not read or understand a schematic or hydraulic flow diagram.. I will agree that most mechanics in the military are parts changers and we used to make the operators do damn near everything but when a M1 or Bradley turret goes out you better damn well know how to read that schematic and figure our where the problem and do it right because those tankers and infantry lives depend on it.

1. Anyone that can shoot effectively
2. Anyone can can follow simple orders to complete a mission
3. Anyone that can manage to get by with minimal to no supervision incase the person in charge of them dies

I could go on but I'm pretty sure you get the idea

All jobs contribute to mission success so long as we defeat the enemy and get to come home it doesn't really matter which is more important, but for shits and grins field artillery all day

I don't think there is a 10 most important ,I just came here to see what kind of dumbass did and how they were rated. Any soldier knows it's a total team effort. It is like saying 10 most important parts on a cars motor. You remove one of them and it don't run.

1 11B, 11C: no physical war can be fought without them. Known as the queen of battle because in the game of chess the queen not only protects the king but is also the most mobile piece on the battlefield.
2 13F: artillery is known as the king of battle because year after year, the 13 series produces the most kills. FOs participate in all that the infantry does and go wherever the infantry goes. (Specific experiences may vary, however as whole, this is the way it goes) As a matter of fact, while i was on active duty, there was talk of 13F becoming 11F.
3 13B: gotta have someone there to maintain and operate the cannons because CAS and CCA arent always available. (Often times 11C is effective enough though)
4 WO#: CCA is so useful it cant be explained.
5 19D: the cavelries production of battlefield reconnaissance is vital to the Armys mission to destroy the enemy.
6 68#: Please keep me alive
7 Supply
8 Mechanic
9 Cook
10 Finance
