MOS Chief of section 864? - Artillery unit
#1

Received this question. I supplied what I could, but would appreciate help with this answer. Thanks to all.

 

Hello, you are the only WW2 VI Corps org I could find. A relative of mine served in the VI Corps during WW2 in 5 campaigns in an artillery unit. I have a scrap of paper that says he was a Staff Sgt and \"MOS Chief of section 864\". Do you have any idea what \"MOS Chief of section 864\" means?

 

Thank you for your time, Russell

Hello Russell:

 

Glad you found me.

 

Basically a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) is a job classification in use in the United States Army and Marine Corps. An artillery battery is the same as a company.

 

However I am not sure of the section designation, and therefore will post this on my forum tonight.

 

Regards,

Marion
