Artillery has been computerized for many years. The forward observer team has a computer terminal to enter fire missions into the system. Fire Direction Control Centers have big computer systems to figure out which guns to use to fire a mission and how to set them up so they will hit what they're trying to, there are radar systems that feed data into the network, each gun has a computer on it to tell the crew what to do...and all that stuff is run by tactical data people.

The Career of a Field Artillery Officer?

The job of field artillery officer is offered by the United States Army. The field artillery branch is the branch that is responsible for using modern weaponry such as rocket, missile fire and cannon to neutralize an enemy. The job of a field artillery officer is to lead these operations. Therefore, they must be well versed in combat tactics, the techniques used by the Army and how to support these systems. They must also be able to coordinate soldiers of all levels, including units that may have 200 soldiers or more. A good field artillery officer should also be able to teach combat training and various field artillery skills. Leadership is one of the most important skills required for this job. Field artillery officers must also be in peak physical condition and able to perform under extreme pressure. In order to become a field artillery officer, an individual must first complete basic training for the Army. Then, they must complete the field artillery officer basic course which provides education in fire support, fire direction and platoon leadership.

Additional training and educational courses are provided by the Army. Experience and time spent in the field are held in high regard and help with promotion through the ranks. The average salary for a field artillery officer is $60,000. This is, of course, an average. Actual salaries may vary depending on rank and experience as well as where the individual is stationed. The Army also offers perks along with a yearly salary. Benefits and housing are among those perks. There are very few drawbacks to this career. One of the major ones is that the field artillery officer must spend time stationed somewhere that might be far away from home or family. This can place stress on both the solider and the family, although it is not uncommon with military careers. The outlook for the career of field artillery officer is very positive. As technology increases and advances, field artillery will also advance. Therefore, the Army will need qualified field artillery officers to lead soldiers in this area.
