SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO EXISTING QUALIFICATIONS

Auxiliary Versions of Active Duty Qualifications

Some of the existing qualifications were renamed during the updates.  This is either because the Active Duty version was renamed, or because the existing Auxiliary qualification is a compilation of several active duty qualifications.  Each of these qualifications was completely rewritten and individual tasks cannot be compared.
