What's "M.S.E in charge?"

[stephen]

US ground crews were organized under a sergeant, then a corporal and then two or three privates per plane working under the corporal... so I'm sure the "M.S.E. in charge" must refer to the master sergeant. Can anyone interpret that acronym exactly and confirm? Also, any further information on the organization and breakdown of US ground crews at the squadron level would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Stephen,

The military term MSE normally refers to a Mobile Subscriber Equipment. The military's tactical phone system. See also : http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/army/.../11066L400.htm

It is also used as abbrev. for materiel status evaluation; missile support element. In strictly military terms MSG would mean master sergeant...

MSE is also a term used in the USAF : Maintenance scheduling effectiveness
Doesn't seem logic either...

MSE is also used in civilian as for a Master of Science in Engineering or Epidemiology or Education. The first one seems interesting.

Just a wild guess...

Stephen -

MSE could be Master Signal Electrician.... They are the MSgts with the little
"lighning bolts" under the stripes.
