If war breaks out, would I be able to get a reclassification to 11B without being in my reenlistment window?

With the news recently it seems war with the Russian Federation is a possibility. Hypothetically if that happened would I be able to get a reclassification to 11B without being in my reenlistment window? I figure we’d need to ramp up the combat arms to match a mobilized Russia and it would be cheaper to retrain personnel already in rather than recruiting for it.

Infantry is no joke even in peace time. But when you are on the 2 way rifle range, shit gets real, quick.

A war breaking out won't cause the Army to suddenly need less cooks. The US military positions itself to be capable of fighting two wars at the same time. If one breaks out right now, we have the correct number of cooks and infantry to fight it.
You can reclass any time that your MOS at your grade is listed as Overstrength on the In/Out calls and the one you want is listed as Understrength. Infantry is often Understrength but 92G is rarely Overstrength.
The easiest, fastest way to reclass to 11B is to go to Ranger School. Once you have your tab it's a quick 4187 to HRC and you're an 11B

That's the first time I think I've ever seen Ranger School listed as the easiest way to do anything :^).

It's possible only your career counselor will know for sure, but needs of the Army says you're a rifleman when the Army needs you to be regardless of MOS. I get that you want to be in the fight, but you need to ask if you would also be ok with being Infantry in a time of peace as well as war or is this just because of the chance to fight Russians?
Either way, your decision is yours and you should pursue it or not because of what your convictions say not what we say.
