FORT BELVOIR, Va. (Aug. 20,2024) —The U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC) congratulates the Soldiers listed below for their selection into the 51C military occupational specialty (MOS)—contracting noncommissioned officer (NCO).
51C NCOs have the vital job of not only providing procurement support for anything a unit might need, but also serving the commander as a business adviser—ensuring Soldiers get what’s needed on time to support the mission.
Candidates selected for reclassification learn a new craft and gain valuable transferable skills through the training, education and professional development aspects of the MOS. The accession process is competitive but rewarding. Applicants must be at the rank of sergeant or staff sergeant with less than 10 years of service. Those with 10 to 12 years of service may request waivers (completed by USAASC). The NCO Acquisition Corps offers a promising career path and the opportunity to serve in a variety of locations around the world.
The next 51C Active Component Reclassification Panel will occur in 2025 with a date to be determined. For instructions on how to submit a packet and for more information about 51C reclassification programs, go to https://asc.army.mil/web/career-development/military-nco/field51.
