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.
