A Cannon Crewmember is an important part of the Army's success on the battlefield. Artillery teams are used to support infantry and tank units in combat, but also have responsibilities during peacetime. Cannon Crewmembers work on cannons known as 'howitzers,' a heavy artillery machine piece with single-barrel firing capability.

Some of your duties as a Cannon Crewmember may include:

-Start and maintain wire and radio communications
-Identify target locations
-Operate self-propelled howitzers, ammunition trucks and other vehicles
-Participate in reconnaissance operations
-Use computer generated fire direction data to set elevation of cannon tube for loading and firing
