Artillery Observer
An Artillery Observer is a military role responsible for directing artillery fire onto enemy targets. They work closely with artillery units to ensure accurate and effective fire support. Observers typically use various tools, such as binoculars and communication equipment, to assess the battlefield and relay information about enemy positions.
These personnel are often positioned in forward areas, allowing them to gather real-time intelligence. They calculate the necessary adjustments for artillery fire, considering factors like distance, wind, and terrain. Their role is crucial for maximizing the impact of artillery while minimizing collateral damage to friendly forces and civilians.
