SFC Graith is a 13F (Forward Observer) and Joint Terminal Attack Controller for the US Army. He is currently stationed at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma. In this podcast we discuss the differences between the United States Marine Corps and United States Army when it comes to fire support integration, training of joint fires observers (JFO) and employment of different air assets. we also get into how the Air Force integrates their JTACs and ROMADs within the Army. Great episode and really informative for anyone looking for more information regarding fires in a joint environment.
