Job Description:
Join the Army National Guard as a Fire Support Specialist and
become part of an elite field artillery team. You will provide the
intelligence needed to support infantry and tank units in combat
operations while learning highly sought-after skills that will help
you in your civilian career. Also known as the Forward Observer,
Fire Support Specialists act as the eyes of an artillery unit and
are primarily responsible for target acquisition and relaying that
information to artillery units at all levels. In this role, you
will become an expert communicator as you establish, maintain, and
operate communications equipment; operate laser range finders;
encode and decode messages; assist in preparing and distributing
fire support plans; and determine target locations using computers
or manual calculations. And as your skills increase, so will your
responsibilities. Advanced team members supervise and train other
Soldiers, prepare observer target lists, initiate suppressive fire,
and select and man observation posts. Helpful Skills * Physically
and mentally fit to perform under pressure
* Ability to multitask Plus, the skills you learn as a Fire Support
Specialist can prepare you for a rewarding civilian career in
computer consulting, information technology support, or data
processing. Earn While You Learn Instead of paying to learn these
skills, get paid to train. In the Army National Guard, you will
learn these valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck
and qualifying for tuition assistance. After 10 weeks of Basic
Training, where you will learn fundamental Soldiering skills, you
will attend six weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT), which
will include a combination of hands-on and classroom training where
you will learn how to decisively compute target locations, proper
ammunition handling techniques, system operations, and artillery
tactics.
