A Forward Observer is a military role responsible for gathering and relaying information about enemy positions and movements to support artillery and air strikes. They operate close to the front lines, using various tools like binoculars, maps, and communication devices to assess the battlefield. Their primary goal is to ensure accurate targeting and effective use of firepower. In addition to observing, Forward Observers often coordinate with other units, such as infantry and artillery, to provide real-time updates. They play a crucial role in enhancing situational awareness and ensuring that military operations are conducted efficiently and safely, minimizing collateral damage.
