NOTE ON TABLE C-5: Army defines light strength requirement as ability to lift on occasional basis a maximum of 20 lb (9 kg) with frequent or constant lifting of 10 lb (5 kg). Corresponds to Navy's low/moderate and low/low and Air Force's low requirements. NOTES ON TABLES C-1 to C-5: For Marines and Coast Guard, job classifications are not subject to strength testing; therefore, strength level categories cannot be assigned. As female military personnel are not permitted to serve in designated combat or combat-related assignments, these military occupational specialties have not been included in this table. DoD, Department of Defense; OCC, occupational codes. SOURCE FOR TABLES C-1 to C-5: Army: Adapted from Sharp et al.
