The Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) for a Marine Gunnery Sergeant (Gunny) is typically 9999, which designates them as a staff non-commissioned officer. However, a Gunnery Sergeant usually holds a specific MOS related to their primary military job, such as infantry, aviation, logistics, or other fields. In their role, they serve as a key leader and mentor, responsible for training and overseeing junior Marines within their unit. The Gunny plays a critical role in mission planning and execution, leveraging their experience to guide operations.
If you're asking what the name of that pay grade is, there are only two and they are Sargent Major (there's also the SgtMaj of the Marine Corps, but there's only one of them) and Master Gunnery Sargent.
In formal writing or when directly addressing someone, Marine title Gunny (short for Gunnery Sergeant) is capitalized. In general text or casual conversation, it is typically not capitalized.
A Marine Expeditionary Unit would be made up of numerous MOS's.
