MOU status: DoD MOU expires December 20, 2026. That is inside 90 days, so confirm the program is still running before you build a package around it.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

What the work involves

As a Transmission Field Service Representative (FSR), you will serve as the on-site Subject Matter Expert (SME) for tracked vehicle transmission systems. Responsibilities include overseeing installation, maintenance, repair, and performance validation of transmission assemblies; diagnosing and troubleshooting complex mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues; and disassembling, inspecting, repairing, and rebuilding transmission components to ensure optimal functionality. You will ensure all work is performed in accordance with technical manuals, schematics, safety standards, and company quality requirements while maintaining detailed service documentation and managing field service inventory. This role requires strong mechanical experience, ideally from Army wheeled or tracked vehicle maintenance backgrounds, with expertise in powertrain, drivetrain, hydraulic, and electrical systems. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency with hand tools, precision measuring instruments, and diagnostic equipment, along with the ability to interpret technical documentation and perform root-cause analysis. Professional communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to travel on short notice are essential. This SkillBridge opportunity provides hands-on industry experience and serves as a direct bridge to long-term civilian career opportunities with SAPA Transmission.
