U.S. ArmyMOS to Civilian Career Guide

The Army uses Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) codes to classify every enlisted job, from 11B Infantryman to 25B IT Specialist to 68W Combat Medic. Each MOS represents a distinct set of skills, training, and certifications that translate to specific civilian careers — but the translation isn't always obvious, especially for combat arms and field-heavy specialties.

Our guides break down each Army MOS into direct civilian career matches with BLS salary data, federal GS positions that value your background, companies that actively recruit Army veterans, and career pivot paths for soldiers who want to leave their specialty entirely. Whether you're a 92Y looking at supply chain management or a 35F targeting intelligence analyst roles, every guide includes the certifications you'll need organized by career path, skills translation for hiring managers outside the military, and honest information about what the job market looks like.
