Hello,

This guide provides an overview of the 92A Automated Logistical Specialist Military Occupational Specialty (MOS).
The 92A MOS is responsible for managing the Army's supply chain, inventory systems, warehouse operations, and equipment accountability. These Soldiers ensure that units receive the right equipment, repair parts, and supplies at the right place and the right time.
Whether supporting Soldiers in the United States or deployed around the world, 92A Specialists play a critical role in keeping Army operations running efficiently.

Consultations are free, and you are welcome to ask questions just to understand your current options.
Real recruiter. Real answers.
A father of four and an immigrant myself, I provide honest guidance based on real recruiting experience.
A 92A Automated Logistical Specialist manages the Army's logistics and supply operations using computerized inventory and maintenance management systems.
Rather than simply moving equipment, 92A Soldiers help ensure that military units have the supplies, repair parts, tools, and equipment they need to complete their missions.
Their responsibilities include:
Supply chain management
Inventory control
Warehouse operations
Equipment accountability
Property management
Automated logistics systems
Maintenance support
Shipping and receiving operations
Because every Army unit depends on supplies and equipment, 92A is one of the Army's most essential logistics career fields.
Assignments vary depending on unit type and mission.
Managing Army supply inventories
Maintaining computerized inventory records
Receiving and issuing equipment
Tracking repair parts
Processing supply documentation
Managing warehouse operations
Conducting inventory inspections
Maintaining equipment accountability
Supporting maintenance operations
Operating Army logistics software systems
Actual duties and work environments may vary depending on the type of unit, assignment, training level, and deployment status.
92A applicants generally complete 10 weeks of Basic Combat Training (BCT) followed by 9 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT).
During training, Soldiers may learn:
Army supply procedures
Inventory management
Warehouse operations
Computerized logistics systems
Equipment accountability
Maintenance documentation
Shipping and receiving procedures
Supply management operations
Training content and length may change depending on Army policy.
92A is currently available to Green Card holders.
However, actual eligibility may depend on:
βͺ Current Army regulations
βͺ MOS availability at the time of contract
βͺ Individual immigration status
βͺ Additional qualification requirements
Some MOSs may require U.S. citizenship due to security clearance requirements. For this reason, it is best to confirm your eligibility through a recruiter before making a decision.
Your ASVAB score can be an important factor when applying for 92A Automated Logistical Specialist.
The commonly referenced requirement is:
Clerical (CL) - 90 or higher
Line scores can affect MOS eligibility, and required scores may change depending on current Army policy.
If you have questions about the ASVAB or PiCAT, separate guidance is available.
The 92A MOS provides valuable experience in logistics, supply chain management, and leadership.
92A can provide experience in areas such as:
Supply Chain Management
Warehouse Management
Inventory Control
Logistics Operations
Equipment Accountability
Data Management
Property Management
Leadership
Many Soldiers also pursue:

Platoon Sergeant
Many Soldiers also continue their professional development through Army schools, leadership courses, Tuition Assistance, and Army Credentialing programs.
Experience and opportunities may vary depending on assignment, Army needs, individual performance, and future career goals.
One of the greatest advantages of serving as a 92A Automated Logistical Specialist is gaining practical experience that directly supports careers in logistics, warehousing, inventory management, and supply chain operations.
Depending on eligibility and funding availability, Soldiers may pursue nationally recognized professional certifications through Army Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (Army COOL) and other Army education programs.
Examples include:

While serving, Soldiers also develop practical experience in:

These skills are valuable in many civilian industries, including:

FedEx
UPS
DHL
Boeing

Defense contractors
Manufacturing companies
Distribution centers
Warehouse operations
Supply chain management
Purchasing
Inventory control
Logistics coordination
Although Army training does not automatically convert into civilian professional licenses or certifications, military education and work experience may help meet portions of the eligibility requirements for certain civilian credentials, depending on the credentialing organization.
Many Soldiers also use:
Army COOL
Army Credentialing Assistance (CA)
Tuition Assistance (TA)
The Post-9/11 GI Bill
to earn additional certifications or college degrees related to Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Logistics, or Operations Management while serving or after leaving the Army.

I currently serve at the Fairfax Recruiting Center in Virginia, where I assist applicants in the Northern Virginia area.
Because many parts of the U.S. Army enlistment process can be coordinated through online consultation, I also assist applicants from other states across the United States, not only those living in Virginia.
Note: Actual MEPS processing and shipping procedures are generally handled based on the applicantβs residential area.
