This is a temporary necessary MOS used to identify the enlisted ground maintenance technician and aircrew member training during the introduction of the KC-130J. Specific enlisted primary MOSs will be designated after sufficient aircraft fielding increases.

Ground maintenance technicians and aircrew are responsible for performing duties incident to the maintenance and operation of Marine AH- 1Z and UH-1Y aircraft. This MOS will be assigned only to qualified AH-1W and UH-1N Maintenance Technicians and Aircrew holding 6048, 6114, 6124, 6154, 6174, 6324, 6531, 7563, and 7565 MOSs.

The air vehicle operator executes the proper techniques and procedures to maintain the planned flight profile of the UAV. They communicate through various networks with the payload operator, mission commander, and others as appropriate. They are responsible for execution of the payload mission(s) during UAV flights. Reports imagery viewed and when appropriate, performs standard call for fire procedures to direct weapon towards designated targets. Make effective use of the UAV payload through proper planning techniques, and crew coordination. Additionally, they set up and execute Remote

External UAV operators execute the initial takeoff and final landing phases of UAV operations. They are also an integral part of all mission planning, takeoff and landing sequences, and crew coordination aspects of UAV flight.

Tactical systems operators/mission specialist perform advanced tactical navigation, threat assessment, and global mission planning tasks and procedures required to conduct in-flight operations in a tactical environment, to include: tactical pilotage, aerial refueling, aerial delivery, low-level flight, night vision systems, battlefield illumination and defensive systems.

Ground maintenance technicians and air vehicle operators are responsible for performing duties incident to the maintenance and operation of Marine VTUAV aircraft. This MOS will be assigned only to qualified UAV Maintenance Technicians and Air Vehicle Operators holding the 6214, 6314, 7314, 7315, and 7316 MOSs.

Loadmaster/In-Flight refueling observers perform duties as required in a variety of missions, to include: safety observer for aerial refueling evolutions, staging/loading of cargo and passengers aboard tactical transport aircraft, computing of weight and balance, determining cargo restraint criteria, applying cargo restraints, transporting of hazardous material aboard military aircraft, conducting the aerial delivery of passengers and cargo, and conducting rapid ground refueling.
