*NOTE: Part D of the manual is currently undergoing a complete revision in terms of content and format, specifically regarding the code tables. Please make note of the new
template for establishment and revision requests. Additionally, due to existing AQD code tables in their previous formats, there are cases where the AQD order does not follow
logical alpha-numeric sequencing. Please ensure you view the entire section for completeness when searching for a specific AQD as it may be out of sequence until the entire
manual can be formatted appropriately.
AQD codes having the first character "J" are used to identify selected billets, officer experience, billet requirements, and officer qualifications pertaining to the joint duty/joint
specialty field.
Assignment or modification of the "JD" series AQD codes on billets must contain Chief of Naval Personnel (PERS-4) concurrence. Assignment or modification of the "JS" series
AQD codes on personnel must contain (PERS-45J) concurrence.
These AQD codes are assigned to personnel by PERS-4, PERS-45J or PERS-92 and assigned to billets by N1 and PERS-4.
