INTRODUCTION

The Kansas Army National Guard (KSARNG) Officer Position Book lists all authorized officer positions within Kansas based on approved force structure as shown in the Army Organization Server (AOS). AOS is the database of record for approved Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) and Table of Distribution and Allowance (TDA) documents. The Officer Position Book is updated on an annual basis as new MTOEs and TDAs are implemented. The book is organized by officer classification functional categories. The purpose of the book is to give officers at every rank an overview of career and promotion opportunities across all branches and all units. It should also be used as a tool by raters, senior raters, and mentors when counseling officers on their long term plans and goals within the KSARNG. Comments, questions, or suggestions on the Officer Position Book should be addressed to the KSARNG Officer Personnel Management Branch at [email protected].

The Primary Specialty Skill Identifier (PSSI) is 14A. The Air Defense Artillery Officer provide fires to protect the force and selected geopolitical assets from aerial attack, missile attack and surveillance. There is only one ADA position available in Kansas. Kansas does not have an ADA unit or the force structure to organically grow an ADA officer. This branch is not available for brand new commissionees. This branch may provide a good broadening opportunity for a combat arms officer to expand their skill set, but opportunities to serve in this branch are limited and do not exist in Kansas beyond the rank of Captain. Interested senior Lieutenants or junior Captains can gain qualification through a 2-week transition course, or through the Captain’s Career Course. Officers who wish to be promoted beyond the rank of Captain must seek qualification in another branch or compete for Combat Immaterial or Branch Immaterial positions. Reference pages 149 and 155 for possible branch and combat arms immaterial positions.

Infantry (IN) (11A)

The Primary Specialty Skill Identifier (PSSI) is 11A. The Infantry Branch is the maneuver branch. Its mission to close with and destroy the enemy by means of fire and maneuver to defeat or capture him, or repel his assault by fire, close combat, and counterattack. Infantry Officers are valued for their Warrior Ethos persona and for their physical and mental toughness. These qualities along with professional discipline enable them to focus on mission accomplishment in the most austere environments. Infantry leaders are expected to synchronize all elements of combat power on the battlefield to defeat the enemy. Infantry officers are prepared to train, lead, and employ all types of Infantry and other maneuver and fire assets on the battlefield in unified land operations (offense, defense, and stability operations). Although there are five different types of Infantry, Kansas only has mechanized formations within the State. Infantry officers can compete for Combat Arms Immaterial or Branch Immaterial positions and can also be assigned to Armor positions for up to 36 months without requiring a branch transfer. Reference pages 149 and 155 for possible branch and combat arms immaterial positions.
