Moriarty hopes to be revamping that training by 2016. Army Training and Doctrine Command would emphasize the new technologies by growing 13 Foxtrot Advanced Individual Training, Advanced Leader and Senior Leader Courses. "They are the great guessers with the binoculars, but nobody's been actually making these guys do their job with the software that we have available." "The Fisters have been with the Infantry for a while," Moriarty said. The 13 Foxtrot (Fire Support Specialist) MOS, known as Fisters, is also under scrutiny for possible modernization. ![]() “We just sent the MOS proposal up the ‘Big Army,’ and so we’re thinking by the first quarter of 2017 that will be in effect,” he said. "We wanted to combine their MOSs but not just 'slam them together.' So we wanted to make a new MOS-13 Juliet- but also come up with a new MOS specification and new critical tasks. Moriarty noted that the MOS had not produced a sergeant first class for the last four or five years and the new Personnel Management Authorization Document did not indicate any in the next five years.Īnother MOS action being explored is the possible merger of 13 Delta (Field Artillery Automated Tactical Data System Specialist) and 13 Papa (Multiple Launch Rocket System Operations/Fire Direction Specialist). "That used to be the 13 Sierra and 13 Whiskey, the weather people and the survey folks," Moriarty said. One MOS targeted for inactivation by 2018 is "13 Tango" (Field Artillery Surveyor/Meteorological Crewmember). ![]() ![]() According to CSM Daniel Moriarty, sergeant major of the Field Artillery, the branch is currently exploring the metrics of transitioning from the current total of seven enlisted MOSs down to four. One of the many areas in which the Field Artillery is working to retain Fires relevancy in the 21st century can be seen in recent and proposed changes to the enlisted alphanumeric MOSs within that branch.
