I suppose light infantry, although not so much anymore, especially as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have required them to adapt to mechanised operations. Currently, the US Army only has two distinct types of infantry - those who operate mortars, and those who don't.

Prior to 2002, there were four main infantry MOS - 11B (light infantry), 11C (mortars), 11H (TOW anti-tank), and 11M (mechanised). 11H and 11M were folded into 11B, so there is no longer any distinction made between mechanised infantry soldiers and light infantry soldiers.

Are you certain that it is not Co A 812th Engr Avn Bn? That would be company A, 812th Engineer Aviation Battalion. See "related Link" below for an article covering Engineer Aviation Battalions generally, who built airfields, repaired runways, camouflaged airfields, and so on. These separate Engineer Aviation Battalions all seemed to be numbered in the 800s. If your grandfather is African-American then you may feel fairly sure he was in the 812th Engr Avn Bn (Colored), which was a unit with black enlisted personnel and white officers. The WWII Army was generally segregated, with blacks serving in such units with white officers, at least until late in the war. The Armed Forces did not generally desegregate until Truman signed an Executive Order mandating the change in 1947, two years after the war ended. The Engineer Aviation Battalions were "separate battalions", meaning they were not a permanent part of any larger formation. For this reason they can be hard to research. They only had around 800 men, so few of these battalions published their own war history after the war, as many larger units did, and there generally was no organized "alumni association" or reunion group. There were separate battalions of many different types, and probably half the men in the army in WWII were in one of these separate battalions. They generally answered to high HQs, and so for that reason are sometimes called "Wing troops" or "air force" troops, in that they were on the list of units assigned to a wing or one of the numbered air forces. The Second Related link below covers the operations of most of these separate Engineer Aviation Battalions, and addresses the 812th beginning on page 263, a little more than halfway down (or use your browser's "find" function" to search out "812"). The unit is said to have shipped out from Charleston, SC, to southern Africa in May, 1942 - that was six months before the Allies invaded North Africa. Their work was on airfields used to ferry aircraft and supplies to the Middle East. The unit moved on to the island of Corsica in 1944, and I believe ended the war there.

AR615-360 was the Army Regulation (AR) under which the discharge was granted. AR615 covered discharges, and 360 meant it was "for the convenience of the government", most likely that the war was over, and he was one of the vast bulk of men rapidly demobilized and discharged back to civilian life.

AGCT Grade iii means "Army General Classification Test, which was the test administered to every man who entered the army in WWII. It was part intelligence test, but also measured mechanical aptitude, mathematical ability, and so on, looking for skills and abilities the military could utilize. Scores placed a man in a group, from 1 to 5, with one being the highest and 5 the lowest, so he was right in the middle, average.

AFSC 55131 was his job classification, "apprentice construction equipment operator"; he was probably trained as a bulldozer operator.

In the United States, ranks in the army are numerous, and where one is ranked can depend upon a variety of factors. Those who enlist in the army when they are 18, and who do not have officer training begin with few opportunities to command others. In fact, the first of the ranks in the army is Private E-1, usually assigned to those in basic training. Ranks in the army can also depend upon years served, promotions, extraordinary service and continuing education. Ranks in the army establish a chain of command and serve as a pay scale. The highest of the ranks in the army, General of the Army, has been held by only a few people and has been a vacant position for numerous years. Also, there is distinction in the ranks of the army between commissioned officers and non-commissioned ranks. While many non-commissioned officers, called warrant officers, as well as enlisted soldiers can have control of other soldiers, commissioned officers hold command. One can become a commissioned officer in the army by one of four ways: through the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), Officer Candidate School (OCS), the United States Military Academy at West Point, or an officer training program for adults who have previously earned a degree. The most basic difference with a commissioned officer is that he or she has earned a degree and undergoes additional leadership training. Generally, a commissioned officer is commissioned and recognized by the US Senate. Positions like general, colonel and captain all are commissioned status. A subset of ranks in the army is those given to warrant officers. Warrant officers tend to have specialized knowledge, either from army training or college education in certain fields. They may be expert scientists, or have particular knowledge in a rare field. They can command those with a lower rank, and are often considered equivalent to many of the lowest ranks in the army of commissioned officers. However, the only time a warrant officer is commissioned is if he or she becomes Chief Warrant Officer. The following are the ranks in the army of commissioned officers from highest to low: * General of the Army * General (GEN) * Lieutenant General (LTG) * Major General (MG) * Brigadier General (BG) * Colonel (COL) * Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) * Major (MAJ) * Captain (CPT) * First Lieutenant (1LT) * Second Lieutenant (2LT) Those who serve in a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), as on a college campus may be given the rank of cadet or officer candidate. When they enlist after completing college, they almost always are given the lowest of the commissioned ranks in the army, Second Lieutenant. However, those who have specialized knowledge may instead be assigned ranks in the office that are Warrant Officer Ranks. Warrant Officer ranks in the army are the following, listed from high to low: * Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CW5) * Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CW4) * Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3) * Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2) * Warrant Officer 1 (W01) Those who enlist without a commission, and without a college degree begin their careers as privates. Non-commissioned ranks in the army are listed as follows from high to low: * Sergeant Major of the Army * Command Sergeant Major (CSM) * Sergeant Major (SGM) * First Sergeant (1SG) * Master Sergeant (MSG) * Sergeant First Class (SFC) * Staff Sergeant (SSG) * Sergeant (SGT) * Corporal (CPL) * Specialist (SPC) * Private First Class (PFC) * Private E2 (PVT2) * Private E1 (PVT)

Yes, it is possible to retire from the US Army as a sergeant (E5), but it is not common. Normally, individuals retire from the Army at a higher rank, such as Staff Sergeant (E6) or higher. To retire as a sergeant, certain criteria like time in service and years at the rank need to be met.

Army medics typically wear a uniform consisting of a matching set of camouflage or solid-colored trousers and shirt, along with a coat, hat, and boots.

The term "top" when referring to a US Army First Sergeant is derived from the phrase "top sergeant." This phrase likely originated from the idea that the First Sergeant holds a position of high authority and responsibility within the unit, often serving as the senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) and advisor to the commanding officer. The use of "top" is a colloquialism that has become synonymous with the role of a First Sergeant in the army.

There are a few reasons why people may choose to get married before joining the army. One reason is to provide stability and support to their partner while they are away on deployments or training. Additionally, being married can provide certain benefits, such as housing allowances and healthcare coverage, which can be advantageous during military service. Finally, some couples may choose to get married before joining the army to ensure they can be stationed together or have more opportunities to live off-base.
