L7 Joint Fires Observer
Current service use not established
This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
Overview
The Joint Fires Observer designation identifies Army positions requiring Soldiers with Joint Fires Observer qualifications. It specifies those qualifications as a requirement of the position.
Notes & Sources
- L7 (Joint Fires Observer) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: U.S Army Field Artillery Center), not a standalone military occupation.
- Authority scope: "Identifies positions for Soldiers requiring qualifications as Joint Fires Observer." Award requirement: "Must complete the Joint Fires Course at either: (1) U.S." Restrictions: "For use with MOS 13F only." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
