MINIMUM PREREQUISITES
These minimum prerequisites will not be waived.

• Be a Sergeant (E-5) or above.
• Have five to six years' on-the-job experience in a feeder MOS validated by Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Reports (NCOERs).
• Have on-the-job experience, which may include specific (operations/logistic support) experience in any position involving direct contact with equipment/commodity/electronics/repair, retail or wholesale munitions operations, and/or munitions management. ARNG, USAR and civilian experience related to MOS will be taken into consideration. Evaluation reports documenting experience must describe specific MOS-related positions, duties and responsibilities performed and must be commensurate with the rank of the Soldier. Primary positions (supply specialist, admin NCO, commander's driver, etc.) and primary duties/responsibilities (recruiting NCO, range safety NCO, company ammunition NCO, HAZMAT driver, etc.) not directly related to logistical operations, commensurate with the rank of the Soldier, do not qualify as on-the-job experience.
• Be an Advanced Leaders Course (ALC) graduate from a feeder MOS. Waiver requests may be submitted and will be considered on an individual basis. All phases/ERB must state ALC graduate, and all DA Form 1059s must be provided in the application.
• Provide a copy of all NCOERs, which should reflect MOS proficiency in an armament maintenance supervisory capacity.
• Enclose a written recommendation from a Warrant Officer from within the applicant's organization, who holds the Warrant Officer (WO) MOS the applicant is applying for. In organizations where no WO in the correct MOS is available, a letter of recommendation from a senior WO in the correct MOS from a supporting maintenance unit can be substituted.
