Connersville, Indiana, United States Army National Guard Full time
Job Overview

As a member of the Army National Guard serving as an Indirect Fire Infantryman, you will take charge of the Infantry's most formidable weaponry - the mortar system. In this role, you will be part of a mortar squad, section, or platoon, engaging in demanding tasks that may involve airborne operations to access strategic locations for mortar setup and concealment. Your responsibilities will also include identifying and neutralizing enemy explosive devices.

Responsibilities

As you gain experience, your duties will expand. Advanced team members will oversee and mentor fellow Soldiers, lead mortar squads, and provide tactical and technical direction to junior personnel. You will be accountable for executing combat directives, guiding Soldiers in both offensive and defensive maneuvers, and coordinating indirect fire support.

Key Duties Include:
  • Setting up, loading, and firing various mortar types
  • Utilizing crew and weaponry in diverse combat scenarios
  • Maintaining and storing automatic firearms
  • Deploying and recovering anti-personnel and anti-tank mines
  • Conducting reconnaissance missions to detect enemy positions

Essential Skills

  • Interest in weaponry and munitions
  • Willingness to face challenges and risks
  • Physical and mental fitness

The teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills acquired as an Indirect Fire Infantryman will equip you for a career in law enforcement, federal or state agencies, or any civilian profession you choose.

Compensation and Training

Instead of incurring costs to acquire these skills, you will earn a salary while training. In the Army National Guard, you will gain these valuable competencies while receiving a regular paycheck and qualifying for educational assistance.

Following 10 weeks of Basic Training, where you will learn fundamental Soldiering skills, you will proceed to 14 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT). This training will blend hands-on simulated combat with classroom instruction, allowing you to refine your skills through frequent squad drills, target practice, and tactical exercises.
