The goarmy.com site says
An Air Defense Tactical Operations Center Operator is a member of the Army's field artillery team. Artillery are weapons that fire large ammunition or missiles to support infantry and tank units in combat. The Air Defense Tactical Operations Center Operator primarily supervises or serves as a member of an early warning team.
Here are the duties of an Air Defense Tactical Operations Center Operator:
* Detect, track and identify aircraft
* Broadcast early warning information
* Perform operations and intelligence duties in Air Defense units
Now I know artillery can pertain just to air defence but whys it give a definition of supporting tanks and infantry? Is that just somebody going by the literal definition? I also thought I remembered from the video they were shown setting up sensor equipment on the ground. Not that I mind it, I'm just wondering. Pure air defence sounds incredibly boring. What is there to shoot down when American airpower is present but our own planes? From what i've heard from people from the military, if you dont have a useful job they have you do other stuff at times.
I was also told it had some to do with coordination between the branches.
Anybody ever known anybody who was a 14J or familiar with the job?
