How We Can Help Each Other
25D MOS Campaign Plan Spread the word we are looking for 25D candidates with unquestionable character, IT
and IA experience, from non-Signal and Signal MOSs. Provide boots-on- the-ground feedback to OCOS of problems. Support 25D Recruitment Team visit to your duty station in upcoming months. Remember USR approval: 25B can fill 25D positions for reporting purposes in FY15.
25NY2 Removal Campaign Plan Identify 25NY2 Soldiers in your unit Facilitate enrollment into transition course Utilize WIN-T INC 2 NET if it is scheduled for your unit
Survey Feedback Support responds to AIT survey that Soldiers and Commanders are sent. Support responds to MOS occupational survey that feed MOS changes and training.
Critical Task Boards: Send the very best when your unit is contacted for support.
ED Website: Point Soldiers to site for information.

UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
• Signal officer training and education has not kept pace with evolving network and information systems requirements; professional military education opportunities have been dramatically reduced.
• Signal officer experiential development has been diminished by heavy reliance on functional area and contractor support that the Army can no longer afford.
• Increased demand for Information Systems Managers (FA 53) and Telecommunications Systems Engineers (FA 24) at CPT and MAJ has resulted in an unsustainable grade structure imbalance.
• Lack of STEM prerequisites and training vice education for FA53 officers limited their agility and adaptability in fast changing, highly technical, complex information technology field; more highly educated officers are required.
• Signal, especially FA53 officers are being required to perform the knowledge management (KM) support mission without proper training and education.
• Reduced officer structure, converging technology and the need for enhanced talent management warrants the merger of FA24 and FA53 into one functional area.
• There is a shortage of highly trained cybersecurity professionals focused on IA/CND throughout the force at every echelon; a layered defense of the Army’s network is required.
• Emergence of the cyberspace domain and cyberspace operations demands more highly skilled, adaptive and agile Signal leaders to design, build, configure, secure, operate, maintain, sustain and defend the DODIN

with four AOCs 26A Network Infrastructure, 26B Enterprise Services, 26C Cybersecurity, and 26Z Senior Cyberspace Systems Engineer
• Revised Plan (MOCS Action submitted February 1015)– Establish 25G AOC (Network Integration) within Signal Officer branch;
25Z Senior Signal Operations– Merge FA 24 & FA 53 into FA 26 – Information Network Engineering with
three AOCs 26A Network Systems Engineer, and 26B Information Systems Engineer, and 26Z Senior Information Network Engineer

MOCS Action Intended Outcomes
• BR25 – Requires TS-SCI clearance for 25G enabling access to threat intel at BCT/MfSB and higher.– Creates 25G course: Provides advanced cyber information technology and security as well as
tactically focused branch operational training at CPT, MAJ or LTC– Provides experiential development of Signal officers in information technology as they fill the role of
FA53 in selected positions and reduces reliance on contractors– Inculcates skill and confidence among Signal CPT and MAJ in their ability to lead, manage and adapt
to emerging cyber IT and security DoDIN requirements.– Mitigates FA53 shortages at the CPT level; enhances viability of FA26
• FA26– Establishes parity and more equity within the Signal functional area officer inventory– Provides graduate level foundation in technical design, systems engineering process, and project
management education (like current FA24); elevates FA53 from manager to engineer– Raises technical expertise; provides agile and adaptive thinkers who can exploit current and future
cyber information technology and security techniques and procedures– Enhances the FA26 structure providing increased opportunity and career field viability for
professional development from CPT to COL– Enables talent management; assignment flexibility and best-of-breed selection to fill LTC and COL
key development positions– TS-SCI prerequisite for all FA26 officers enables access to threat intel at every level
Postures the Signal Regiment for transport convergence and data centric solutions in support of the JIE
Will proposed transformation meet
Army 2025 requirements?
