The Air Force uses Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs), these codes define specific roles for both enlisted personnel and for the officers. The AFSCs include numbers and letters that represent various career fields, such as logistics, medical, or combat operations.
On the other hand, the Army uses Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) to classify its personnel. The Army MOS codes are numerical and represent specific job functions, such as infantry, intelligence, or aviation maintenance
