This page outlines the billets and advanced qualifications available within MSOT 8213 – Task Force Raven. Billets represent assigned positions within the MSOT, while advanced qualifications represent additional specialized certifications earned by operators.

All members begin as Critical Skills Operator (CSO) after completing ITC. Operators may later hold a billet and pursue advanced qualifications depending on unit needs and individual performance.

Billets

Billets are the functional positions that make up the MSOT. Each operator holds one billet at a time, assigned based on performance and training.

Headquarters Element

Team Leader – Overall command of the MSOT.
Team Chief – Senior enlisted advisor and disciplinarian.
Operations SNCO – Assists HQ in planning, training, and logistics.

Element Leaders & Core Operators

Element Leader – Leads an MSOT element.
Critical Skills Operator (CSO) – Core Raider billet, baseline for all members.

Specialized Billets

Radio Operator (RO) – Manages comms and fire requests.
SARC (Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman) – Medical specialist.
Breacher – Responsible for explosive, mechanical, and ballistic entry.
Designated Marksman (DM) – Provides precision fire within the element.
JTAC – Coordinates CAS and indirect fires.
Sniper/Recce – Long-range reconnaissance and overwatch.
EOD/Engineer Support – IEDD and demolitions expertise.
Mobility/Vehicle Operator – Vehicle operation, convoy discipline, and recovery.

Advanced Qualifications

Advanced qualifications are certifications that operators may earn in addition to their billet. These represent specialized training schools modeled on real-world MARSOC and SOCOM programs.

Airborne & Freefall

**Basic Airborne (Static Line)** – Static-line parachutist qualification.
**Military Free-Fall (HALO/HAHO)** – High-altitude insertion using oxygen systems.

Maritime

**Combat Diver (CDQC)** – Closed- and open-circuit SCUBA infiltration.
**Amphibious Operations** – Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRC), VBSS.

Precision & Fires

**SOF Sniper** – Advanced sniper and reconnaissance course.
**JTAC Certification** – Advanced qualification for fire support control.

Demolitions & Breaching

**Advanced Demolitions** – Complex charge calculation and structural demo.
**Master Breacher** – Advanced breaching certification beyond billet.

Medical

**TCCC Instructor** – Certified to train others in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (ACM in Arma).
**SOF Medical / SOCM (for SARCs)** – Advanced SOF medic qualification.

Reconnaissance & Survival

**SERE-C** – Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape – High risk environment.
**Advanced Reconnaissance** – Specialized recon and surveillance course.

Mobility

**Advanced Driving** – Off-road and convoy defense techniques.
**Air Assault** – Helicopter insertion/extraction methods.

Summary

**Billets** define an operator’s role within the MSOT.
**Advanced qualifications** enhance capability and flexibility across the team.
Every Raider begins as a CSO, but through training and experience, operators expand into billets and advanced certifications.

Task Force Raven ensures that every operator is a Raider first — billets and qualifications are built on that foundation.
