ASIs normally identify specialized skills, qualifications, and requirements that are closely related to and are in addition to those inherent to the MOS.
ASIs are authorized for use only with designated MOS, unless otherwise specified, and will be listed in each specification for such MOS.
Area aptitude scores for an ASI will be no more restrictive than the associated MOS, unless an exception to policy is approved by Army, G-1.
ASIs are primarily used to identify skills requiring formal school training or civilian certification.
Specialized skills identified by the ASI include operation and maintenance of specific weapon systems and subsystems, computer programming languages, procedures, analytical methods, animal handling techniques, and similar required skills that are too restrictive in scope to make up an MOS.
ASIs may be used to identify specialized qualifications and requirements that do not follow the MOS management system.
Specialized qualifications and requirements identified by ASI include security and operational requirements (see AR 611-1).
