Forward Observer: The Job; The Mission

I've noticed that many people log onto my sight here at forward observer because I suppose information is needed on the forward observer. The forward observer is an entity that breaks off from the main body of an artilary unit to pass information back to the big guns. If I am wrong about this, let me know with a comment...

The forward observer will observe where the rounds are landing, and radio back exactly what is needed to 'adjust fire' so that the target can be destroyed.

In addition, the forward observer will radio back intel.to his unit and give information such as

enemy size, activity, location, unit, time and equipment.

The observer will maintain light and noise discipline at night especially, and will practice using camoflage, cover and concealment.

The internet is a vast knowledge source for your information hunt... good luck!
