An Airborne Forward Observer is a military role responsible for coordinating air support during combat operations. They are trained to identify enemy positions and relay this information to aircraft, ensuring accurate targeting. This role is crucial for effective air-to-ground communication and support. Typically, Airborne Forward Observers operate from helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft, allowing them to gather intelligence from the air. They work closely with ground troops and pilots, using advanced technology and maps to enhance situational awareness. Their expertise helps to minimize collateral damage while maximizing the effectiveness of air strikes against enemy forces.
