Mortuary Affairs is a service within the United States Army Quartermaster Corps tasked with the retrieval, identification, transportation, and burial of deceased American and American-allied military personnel. Until 1991, it was known as the Graves Registration Service (GRS or GRREG). The Graves Registration Service was created several months after the United States entered World War I.
The current Army Military Occupational Specialty for the career field is 4V (a general code for officers across the Quartermaster Corps) and 92M for enlisted personnel.
