US Army Forward Observer team (Winter)

Forward observers are liaison officers responsible for coordinating the attack of aircraft strikes or heavy artillery batteries firing from far behind the battle lines. They are likely to be accompanied by a radio operator and other immediate attendants. We rate these officers as Regular or Veteran – those of lesser ability being unlikely to find themselves in such an important position.
