The U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center congratulates these Soldiers for their selection.
51C NCOs have the vital job of not only providing procurement support for anything a unit might need but also serving the commander as a business adviser—ensuring Soldiers get what’s needed on time to support the mission.
Candidates selected for reclassification learn a new craft and gain valuable transferable skills through the training, education and professional development aspects of the MOS. The accession process is competitive but rewarding: Applicants must be at the rank of sergeant or staff sergeant with less than 10 years of service. Those with 10 to 13 years of service may request waivers. The NCO contracting corps offers a promising career path and the opportunity to serve in a variety of locations.
The next 51C NCO Reclassification panel is scheduled to convene Jan. 27-31, 2020. You may begin submitting your packets on Sept. 13, and the deadline for packet submission is midnight EST on Jan. 10, 2020.
