0365 - Infantry Squad Leader

Summary

THIS IS AN OBSOLETE MOS, NO LONGER IN USE IN THE TABLE OF ORGANIZATION OF THE MARINE CORPS.

THIS MOS IS MAINTAINED IN THE MOS MANUAL BECAUSE IT APPEARS IN THE RECORDS OF MARINES STILL ON ACTIVE DUTY OR THE RESERVES.

Infantry Squad Leaders are created via the squad leader development program (SLDP) by a lateral move from the infantry MOS of Rifleman (0311), Machine Gunner (0331), Mortarman (0341), or Antitank Missile Gunner (0352).

SLDP was designed to synchronize the training and education of a second term infantryman with the assignments process that results in a more mature, better trained and educated squad leader.

Volunteers gain priority placement in advanced infantry training and the Sergeants Course which professionalizes the squad leader billet and enhances the capabilities of Marine infantry squad leaders for operations in complex and distributed environments.

The Infantry Squad Leader plans for assigned missions and carries out the orders issued by the platoon commander.

He/She is also responsible for the discipline, training, control, conduct, and welfare of his squad at all times, as well as the condition, care, and economical and effective use of its weapons and equipment.

In combat, he is responsible for the tactical employment, fire discipline, fire control, sustainment, and maneuver of his squad during offensive, defensive, amphibious, and stability operations.

These leaders will be placed in squad billets based off original MOS proficiency and strength.
