For Granite Staters seeking a career that builds leadership, technical expertise, and serves the community, the New Hampshire Army National Guard offers a dynamic portfolio of Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). Our Recruiting and Retention Command continuously aligns these roles with both military readiness and the evolving demands of the New England job market. While the core structure of Career Management Fields (CMFs) provides a proven foundation, the availability of specific MOSs and their associated training pipelines are subject to the needs of the force. We always advise prospective soldiers to consult directly with a NHARNG recruiter for the most current information on qualifications and openings.
From Field Artillery to Cyber: Technical Trades in High Demand
The technical expertise cultivated in several CMFs translates directly into high-value civilian careers. Fields like Signal Operations (CMF 31), Electronic Maintenance (CMF 35), and Automatic Data Processing (CMF 74) are more critical than ever, with skills in network security, systems calibration, and data management being sought after by employers from Manchester's tech hubs to Portsmouth's defense contractors. Similarly, the precision and analytical rigor of Field Artillery (CMF 13) roles, such as the Fire Direction Specialist, build competencies in geospatial data, ballistics, and complex system operations that are applicable in engineering, logistics, and aerospace sectors.
The foundation of our force structure has always been the clear delineation of Career Management Fields and Military Occupational Specialties, ensuring every soldier has a defined path for growth.

Navigating Qualifications for MOS 11B and Combat Arms Roles
Combat arms specialties, including the Infantry (CMF 11), remain the bedrock of our maneuver force. These roles demand exceptional physical fitness, mental fortitude, and tactical proficiency. It is essential for applicants to understand that certain positions within these fields have specific qualification parameters. For example, the 11B Infantryman MOS has historically had restrictions based on Department of Defense policy. As of 2026, all combat roles are open to all qualified soldiers, reflecting the full integration of the force. However, not every MOS is an entry-level position; some require prior service or progression through specific training pipelines. Key steps for prospective recruits include:
- Schedule a detailed assessment with a NHARNG recruiter to evaluate ASVAB scores and physical readiness.
- Discuss long-term career goals to align with CMFs that offer both military advancement and civilian crossover.
- Review current Unit Manning Reports to identify which specific MOSs (e.g., 13B Cannon Crewmember, 91 Series Medical) have immediate training slots available.
- Understand the timeline and location for One Station Unit Training (OSUT) or Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for your chosen field.
Aviation, Medical, and Support CMFs: The Sustaining Functions
Beyond the tactical edge, the Guard's mission relies on robust sustaining functions. The Aviation Operations (CMF 93) and Aircraft Maintenance (CMF 67) fields support our rotary-wing missions critical for statewide emergency response. The Medical CMF (91) trains soldiers as healthcare specialists, combat medics, and surgical technicians—skills instantly applicable in New Hampshire's hospitals and clinics. Similarly, specialties in Transportation (CMF 88), Supply (CMF 92), and General Engineering (CMF 51) are the logistics backbone for both federal deployments and state disaster relief, offering certifications and experience directly relevant to private-sector industries.
The table below outlines a selection of primary Career Management Fields and their alignment with key civilian sectors in New Hampshire, illustrating the dual-career advantage.
