C C P Form, 458 December, 1918 445227 FOREWORD Personnel Specifications for enlisted men of the Motor Transport Corps are herewith issued. It will be noticed that Personnel Specifications include the Army title, the authorization of the various grades according to the Tables of Organization, the corresponding civilian occupation, the degree of skill at the occupation and the occupational symbol (used in the classifica- tion of all enlisted men) which are commonly found in the Tables of Occupational Needs for various branches and corps of the service here- tofore published. In addition, Personnel Specifications include a suggested substitute for the civilian occupations and a description of the duties of each grade. Several limitations to the complete, intelligent use of any sort of tables of occupational organization of Army units have created the necessity for tables where the duties of various grades are specified. The Tables of Occupational Needs prescribe the trade specialists re- quired to organize and maintain the organization of well-balanced units. The personnel office in preparing a requisition for men for the organiza- tion which is forming can from the Tables of Occupational Needs alone get the material for the telegram requisitioning these men. But in making an assignment of the men provided to fill the requisition more than the bare terms of the civilian occupation required must be taken into account if the assignment is to remain permanent. For two sergeants, both to be drawn from the same occupation, one to function as a radio sergeant, heavy artillery, and the other as a ser- geant, first class, Air Service, the personnel officer would make no choice between two wireless operators, but would indiscriminately send one to the regiment of heavy artillery and the other to the motor mechanics regiment. But when he reads in Personnel Specifications for the par- ticular arm he is considering the following concerning the radio sergeant: 1 Radio Sergeant Wireless or buzzer operator 1 Jour. 31 w Substitute : Telegrapher. Cares for and operates wireless apparatus and makes repairs under adverse conditions. Required to send and receive fifteen words per minute. while the other, the sergeant first class, Air Service, is merely defined as 1 Wireless Operator Wireless operator 1 Jour. 31w Supervises the testing of repaired radio units and accessory wireless apparatus. Ill he will send the man whose card shows more athletic activity and greater mental alertness to the artillery, while the man with more academic ability in radio telegraphy and construction will be sent to the electrical repair company of the motor mechanics regiment, and both will have much better prospects of remaining in this assignment than had a ran- dom selection been made merely from the civilian occupation. Fre- quently the personnel officer will find that the definition of duties describes the limits of duties. From this may be inferred the range of qualifications which the man must possess in order to be of the utmost use to his company. In every case he will find the qualifications stated in terms of what the man actually does, for it has been determined that with such a statement the tables can be used to greatest advan- tage both by personnel officers and by commanding officers. The limitations upon successfully assigning men in a personnel office have created another necessity for Tables of Specification. Not only is some guide required by the personnel officer in making initial assign- ments, but it is also necessary to point the way for the organization commander. It can not be taken for granted that a man assigned by the personnel officer will in every instance function as it is intended he should. In some instances it has been found not only that he does not so function, but that he is never given a chance to do so. This is not because of any opposition to giving him a chance to demonstrate how far his occupational qualifications fit him for performing Army duties, but because the relation between the civilian occupation and the Army duties is not in every case apparent. In the case of cooks the relation is so obvious that no one could mistake it, but there are other occupa- tions the relations of which to Army duties are not so patent as those of cooks. Right here the tables find their practical usefulness. They enable the company commander to compare what the man does in his company with the occupation which most nearly fits him to perform these duties. Then it is a logical step to take the Qualification Cards and the assignment as made by the personnel officer and to place the man in the position where his occupational qualifications relate to the Army functon. Each set of Tables of Occupational Needs and Personnel Specifica- tions contains the following statement, which prescribes their use: The purpose of these tables is to assist in fitting into the Army civilian occupational experience where it will be utilized to the best advantage. Because of the scarcity of men possessing trade ability, the occupations specified in these tables have been divided into two groups : S (a) Those that are essential to successful operation are known as the MAIN GROUP and are to be provided. (b) Those that are desirable but not entirely essential to sucess- ful operation are listed under LESS ESSENTIAL GROUP, and IV are to be fitted in as indicated, provided they are available and are not needed for assignment elsewhere in some MAIN GROUP. In the organization of units requisitions for occupationalists will therefore be honored only in order to complete such MAIN GROUPS. In the following tables the LESS ESSENTIAL GROUP is in no case included in the totals of the unit. Although desirable that any or all of the specialists called for in this group should be allotted to each unit as a whole, it is not necessary to assign the men called for in the group to any particular section of the unit; moreover, since they can not be requisitioned, their presence in an organiza- tion depends upon whether they are to be found at the station of formation of the unit. For these reasons, the LESS ESSENTIAL GROUP is in every instance appended to the Tables of Personnel Specifications. Therefore, when any or all of the occupational specialists of a LESS ESSENTIAL GROUP are assigned to any organization, the total number of men whose occupations are "not specified" remain- ing in the organization will be decreased by the number of specialists of the LESS ESSENTIA.L GROUP added to the organization, and the number of occupational specialists already assigned will be increased by the same number. The utilization of all the resources of supply has provided the possi- bility of assigning to each organization the trade ability actually required in order to enable the organization properly to operate. Moreover, occupationalist specialists are quite as essential to successful operation as i <. ient used by the organization in the field. Telegra- phers and buzzer operators are as necessary to the complete functioning of a Field Signal Battalion as are rifles and bayonets to -a rifle company of the infantry regiment. In the first days of the present Army the necessity for occupational specialists was usually vague, and incohe- rently expressed where it was known ; but now the greater expansion of the Army and the increased specialization of units have made it necessary to secure to the organization performing duties of an intricate or technical nature men who by period of civilian training at the various arts and trades have become especiaUV fitted to perform these functions. The actual assignment of these specialists is qualified by conditions which, owing to the haste in war training, it is not possible to overcome. There are certain occupations necessary to successful operation in the field, which it is not possible to supply in the number stated as essential in the various Tables of Personnel Specifications. These occupational specialists are produced only after many years of civilian training and the industries which produce them are not extensively developed. The number of civilians entering the Army who possess trade ability of a rare kind is therefore not enough to fill the demand. To meet this condition but one solution is possible: To give men of civilian occupa- tions allied to these rare ones a brief but comprehensive period of training in the Army specialty they will be called upon to perform. This has in many instances been done, and when the authorization of various Tables of Personnel Specifications in all staff corps and branches and arms of the service is determined, it will be possible by adjusting the supply to the demand to foresee exactly what numbers of these men must be trained to fill the demand. Now that these Tables are in usable form, there no longer remains any reason for the misplacement of skilled occupational specialists. Without good reason misplacements should in no case be permitted. An electrical instrument maker or repairman must be used in a Field Signal Battalion on the work for which he is trained, not as assistant cook. Specialists are uncommon and valuable. It requires more time to produce a good draftsman than it does to make a bayonet, yet the soldier is prohibited from chopping wood or opening cans with the bay- onet, while draftsmen in many instances have been used, not for the task for which their training has prepared them, but for duties for which they have had no training, or which do not challenge their ability. This is wastage of the worst sort, for while the piece of material destroyed can be replaced in a short time by another which will function quite as well, the trade specialist lost to the service can not. And at the present time, when every person possessing trade ability has a peculiar place in the Army, specialists assigned by personnel officers to organizations must be thoroughly tried out in the place which they are assigned to fill. The intelligent use of these tables is, therefore, as important as the occupational classification of the men in making full use of the manpower of the nation.

SUPPLY TRAIN (MOTOR) CAVALRY DIVISION. WATER TANK TRAIN (MOTOR) (TABLES OF ORGANIZATION No. 26) The truck companies of divisional supply trains (infantry and cavalry) are identical. A train ordinarily consists of 5 truck companies for a cavalry and 6 for an infantry division. If, however, 3-ton trucks are provided in place of 2-ton trucks the number of truck companies in the supply train will be reduced to three; if 5-ton trucks are provided the number of companies will be reduced to two. If trucks smaller than 2-ton are provided the number will be increased so as to provide the same cargo capacity, and the number of chauffeurs, assistant chauffeurs, and rifles will be changed accordingly. A water tank train (motor) is the same as a divisional supply train, with variation as indicated in Table 26a (by the omission of two typewriter repairmen), and as hereinafter indicated (by two less assistant chauffeurs), except that in addition to 5 %-ton truck companies there is a sixth company of 3-ton laboratory trucks for bacteriological work. This fifth company is organized the same as the other com- panies, except for the addition of 14 sergeant-mechanics and pumpmen for the laboratory trucks.
