Army Additional Skill Identifiers

In the Army, "ASI" stands for "Additional Skill Identifier." ASIs show additional skills, training, and qualification a soldier may possess, in addition to his/her Military Occupation Specialty (MOS). Some ASI's are awarded only to a soldier in a specified MOS. An example would be ASI C5 (Court Reporter), which is issued only to soldiers in MOS 27D (Legal Specialist). Other ASI's can be awarded to soldiers in any MOS. An example of this would be ASI P5, "Master Fitness Trainer."
