Story by master sgt. brian hamilton  , u.s. army human resources command.

The Army recently implemented new guidelines on joint duty assignment credit for officers as outlined in Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1300.19, DoD Joint Officer Management Program. As of April 3, 2018, Army Officers serving in a standard joint duty assignment are eligible for joint duty assignment credit after accumulating 24 month, points or a combination of both. Joint Duty Assignment credit is given to Officers completing a tour of duty meeting all statutory requirements, the accumulation of joint experience credit points, or a combination of both. Joint experience can also be obtained through a self-nomination process if officers perform joint duties, but aren’t assigned in a standard joint assignment. This credited experience, plus approved joint exercises, and/or joint course can be used to achieve 24 points. Experience points are calculated by taking the number of days served and dividing it by 30.4. That number is then multiplied by the intensity factor, or the environment in which the experience is gained such as in combat, and rounded to the nearest tenth. Another significant change to achieving joint qualification is a new recency requirement. Officers are required to spend 365 days, aggregated or consecutively, gaining their joint experience in the rank of Major or above. This does not include days spent participating in exercises or joint courses. Lt. Col. Bryan Donohue, Army Human Resources Command joint policy branch chief, said the new DoDI does not change a 36 month joint tour to 24 months. The DoDI changes who can waive the officer’s requirement to serve a full 36 month tour. Before the new joint guidelines were issued, each service had to receive a waiver directly from the Office of the Secretary of Defense to remove Officers prior to their 36-month commitment. Now the Army has the authority to determine when an officer can leave a 36 month joint assignment after the 24 month mark. “Speaking strictly from a service centric, career management perspective, rotating more Officers through joint billets improves professional development and career progression for the overall force,” Donohue said. The guidelines also included an update to award Army skill identifiers related to joint tour credit and qualifications, namely 3A (Joint Duty Assignment Qualified) and 3L (Joint Qualified Officer). “Joint duty credit is managed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The Army recognizes two of the three qualification levels identified by the DoDI,” Donohue said. “In the Army if we see that you have all the necessary joint experience completed phase 1 of joint military professional education, you’re awarded 3A. Once you meet all the experience and education requirements and the Office of the Secretary of Defense says you are fully joint qualified, we will award you the 3L skill identifier.” To be awarded 3A, in addition to completing J-PME phase 1, officers in the grade of O4 and above must complete a 24-month standard joint duty assignment, accrue 24 approved experience-joint duty assignment points, or a combination of both. In order to be awarded the 3L skill identifier, officers must meet all the requirements of the 3A skill identifier above, plus the successful completion J-PME phase 2. Of note, by law, officers in the rank of Major or above, designated as joint qualified officers (ASI 3L), are expected to be promoted, as a group, to the next higher rank at an equal or higher rate as commissioned officer in the same rank and competitive category for each service. For more detailed information about joint tour credit see MILPER 18-404 at https://www.hrc.army.mil/Milper/18-404 or contact their HRC assignment officer.

Army Officer Skill Identification Codes: A Complete List

In today’s post, I’d like to share a detailed list of Army Officer Skill Identification Codes. 

While all Army officers have one primary specialty, through both Army and civilian educational resources, they can learn new skills.

The Army has a letter and number system to keep track of extra skills that both enlisted Soldiers and commissioned officers gained. For enlisted Soldiers, they have ASIs (Additional Skill Identifiers) and SQI (Special Qualification Identifiers). On the other hand, Army officers have skill codes that are part of the OPMS (Officer Personnel Management System).

In the Army, Additional Skill Identifiers (ASIs) show extra skills, training, and qualification a soldier may possess. These skills are in addition to their Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) classification. The Army maintains an extensive list of all additional skill identifiers that provides information about the soldiers that are eligible to hold the designation. ~ liveaboutdotcom

I decided to dive into the Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS) and view all the skill identification codes listed. I will share them with you one by one and provide a brief description. Identifiers with no description should be understood just by the name. You will find that most of the latter skill codes can be distinguished by their name.

Army Officer Skill Identification Codes

Here is a complete list of Army Officer Skill Identification Codes, I could assemble online.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, this is as complete a list as I can find, but the Army is adding additional skill identifiers often, so if you know of any more, please share with us in the comments area below.

All comments and questions can be posted there too. Thank you.

I would check ATRRS to confirm how current this information is. SGT Ghilliotti

Yes, this list does change from time-to-time. People should get with their S1 office or Readiness NCO to make sure these codes are still accurate. Thanks.

Sir, After reviewing the many ASI’s within the Army. I did not find the ASI “KILO” for the NON-Commissioned Officer Logistics Program (NCOLP). I contacted Fort Lee Quarter Master school for information concerning the nine week course during the early 80’s. Other than the ASI “K” placed on my DD form 214, I can not locate it any where. SFC Jones (Retired)

Never heard of it myself, Elbert. Maybe someone else reading this comment can chime in and help you out.

The “K” identifier you are referring to is an SQI. Logistics NCO.

Read the complete list of all ASI and SQI . May not be the absolute, but useful nonetheless.

Is there a ASI for Facility Coordinator ? I was told there is

If it’s not on the list above, I’m not sure.

As an NCO, I earned the ASI of M8 (Drug and Alcohol Counseling). As an up and coming behavioral health officer, I am looking to get that switched over to the “Skills” part for my officer record. Does anyone know what the officer equivalent of the M8 is? I spent a bit of time getting that ASI and don’t want for it to vanish since I commissioned.

Does anyone know what “8S” is? It is on my ORB but I have no ideas.

According to a current PDF of ASI’s:

Code: 8S Title: Senior Level 1 Sergeant Major (SGM) Experience Proponent: OSMA Sergeants Major Management Office (SMMO) Special designation: Professional development proficiency code (PDPC) ASI a. Description of positions. Identifies SGM senior staff NCO positions in requirements and authorizations documents where the incumbent is rated by and serves as the principal enlisted advisor to Brigadier General (BG)/Senior Executive Service (SES) Level V commanders, dir ectors and senior staff officers. The duties, responsibilities and knowledge required of the position equates to that expected of the most senior enlisted personnel developed through multiple duty assignments and previous award of PDPC ASI 7S. b. Qualifications. (1) Prerequisite. Must hold PDPC ASI 7S and have successfully served in a position as the principal enlisted advisor to a Colonel/GS -15/equivalent commander, director or senior staff officer for a minimum of 17 months. (2) Temporary awar d. Must have been awarded PDPC ASI 7S and be slated to assume a senior level 1 SGM senior staff NCO position in an authorized organization. (3) Permanent award. Must have successfully served a minimum of one year in an authorized senior level 1 SGM senior staff NCO position. c. Award authority. PDPC ASI code 8S will be awarded by: (1) Active Component: Human Resources Command (AHRC -EPS). (2) National Guard: State/Territory reclassification authority or National Guard Bureau. (3) Army Reserve. U.S. Army Reserve Command or Human Resources Command. d. Functions. At this level, the incumbent is a strategic leader shaping institutions for future success; masters organizational art and comprehends strategy; masters the joint, inter agency, intergovernmental, multinational (JIIM) environment; coordinates and synchronizes combine operations with Allied and Coalition forces; astutely manages complexity and anticipates transitions within operations and serves as a principal senior staff NCO enlisted subject matter expert adviser to BG/SES V level senior leaders. e. Withdrawal authority. PDPC ASI 8S may be withdrawn by the award authority for circumstances that preclude successful completion of a minimum one year tour in an authorized sen ior level 1 SGM position or for conduct/disciplinary actions not conducive to continued service in a SGM position at this level. If not otherwise reduced in grade, the Soldier will revert back to a previous level of proficiency as determined by the award authority. f. Restrictions. (1) Personnel. For use with MOS 00Z only. (2) Positions. For use with E9 SGM positions in MOS 00Z only.

Hope that helps Richard

Another ASI that is not mentioned is 3Y, Space Enabler In accordance with DA PAM 611-21, this Skill Identifier’s proponent is U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command. After the two-phase Space Cadre Basic Course (each phase is one week), one receives the ASI and upon completing one year active duty in a space billet or two years in space billet in TPU (TPU unis 2nd Space BN which falls under active duty unit 1st Space Brigade) one is eligible to wear a space badge.

Thank you for that information CPT Terekhov. We appreciate it very much.

Try DA PAM 611-21 Table 12-2

Thanks for sharing that reference.

Is there a requirement on how many ASIs you can reflect on your ORB? I have been told 2 is the limit by my G1, however my active duty counter parts reflect 3-4 ASIs on their ORBs. Is there a limitation for NG personnel?

I have never heard of limitation. I would get a second opinion from a senior NCO or Warrant Officer at the Personnel Support Battalion.

You can load more than 3 ASIs and SQIs into databases of record. Depending on timing, those databases are: TOPMIS, AGRMIS, RCMS, RLAS, IPPS-A, etc.

However, only 3 ASIs or SQIs are shown on the Compo 2 version of the ORB. Presume Compo 3 to be the same way. You can however, as for the ASIs/SQIs to be stacked in the system, so the 3 show you prefer.

If you are still in the business of updating the additional skill identifiers list, the E4 is a relatively newer ASI since 2013/2014 time frame. Code: E4 Title: Cyber Mission Force Service Proponent: U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) a. Description of positions. There are no positions identified for this ASI. For use with personnel only. Qualifications. 1. Directly engaged in active Defensive Cyberspace Operations (DCO), Offensive Cyberspace Operations (OCO), Cyber Planning, Intelligence support to Cyber or Cyber Law. 2. Personnel who have served 12 months prior to 1 March 2014 on the Cyber Mission Force Operations may be awarded ASI E4 upon submission of DA Form 4187 to the ARCYBER G1/SGM (ARCC-PE). 3. Approval authority for award of ASI is ARCYBER Commander or designated representative. c. Restrictions. For identification of personnel only. Used with any MOS in skill level 1-4.

Thanks for sharing, Jack. Much appreciated.

What regulation does this list come out of? I have been going crazy trying to find this in the regulation.

Is there a list of SQI’s as well as the ASI list? (in regulation?)

I’m not sure what regulation it comes out of to be honest with you. I don’t have the SQI list. The ASI list is a separate post on this blog.

ASIs (officer and enlisted) and SQIs are listed in AR 611-21 Military Occupation Classification.

Electra, I was also going crazy trying to find these lists. I’ve been all over the Army Publishing Directorate (APD) lately, looking for them. There is no current “AR 611-21,” per APD. There is a DA PAM 611-21, and while it does discuss ASIs, SQIs, etc. it doesn’t list them.

As you may have already discovered, PAM 611-21 is really an expanded table of contents for an online reference called “the MOS Smart Book.” I haven’t been able to reach it yet myself, but the PAM provides the URL: — if you have a CAC this might work for you. Older excerpts of the smart book give a different URL: — I assume it’s CAC-enabled, too, but I haven’t been there myself.

Though it may not be authoritative enough for your purposes, I recommend the ATRRS Course Catalog at: . If the Army offers classes for an identifier, then it will appear in the catalog. Once you’ve logged in (with your CAC, of course) click on any of the categories in the big block of drop-down menus to see lists of all the values in the catalog for that category. For example, the commissioned officer ASIs are listed under “OPMS Skill Code.”

I hope this helps.

Before Special Forces became its own branch in 1987, I held a specialty code of Prefix 3 (Special Forces Officer) while being a basic branch armor officer. At the time. armor officers were coded 1203 and cavalry officers 1204. So I was a 31203 and then 31204. Does the Army still identify Special Forces-qualified officers who are not branched Special Forces?

Yes they do Richard. If you look at the list, it depends on what type of special operations you are qualified in.

I appreciate the list of skill identification codes but I was wondering how one goes about getting a code added to their record? For example I qualify for 6H (Public Safety Officer) by virtue of my degree but I have no idea how to apply for credit.

My suggestion is to go to your Army career counselor and explain it to he/she sir. If that doesn’t work, please come back and say something, and I will dig further.

Not sure if you’re still involved in this thread, but your RFI on getting credit applied for this ASI would likely go through the US Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USJFKSWCS), and more specifically the Institute for Military Support to Governance (IMSG). If I’ve understood the requirements correctly, the 6H ASI (as well as many of the others related to the public services) are Civil Affairs-centric ASIs, which I believe means they are only assigned to USAR civil affairs service members who are assigned to IMSG. Hope this helps!

Thank you for that info CPT. We appreciate when Officers like yourself jump in and provide accurate information.

Introduction

The IC Civilian Joint Duty Program works to create cross-agency expertise by fostering an environment of information-sharing, interagency cooperation and intelligence integration at all levels. Joint Duty Rotations provide intelligence professionals an IC-wide enterprise perspective, assist them in cultivating cross-organizational networks, facilitate their ability to share information among other IC employees and organizations, increase participants’ understanding of the scope and complexity of the IC, and contribute to their personal and professional development. The Joint Duty program was established in response to the requirement of the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) that service in more than one IC element be a condition for promotion to senior executive. In 2008, the IC Civilian Joint Duty Program was honored with the Innovations in American Government Award by the Ash Institute of Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government as a “key to improved national security” and an “innovative solution for improving cross-agency understanding.”

The IC Joint Duty Program has advanced in policy and implementation far beyond its initial goal of developing IC leaders with joint experience and perspective, to developing an integrated IC enterprise at all levels and embracing that as the norm.
