An important trend that readers may overlook is the evolution of the Field Artillery warrant officer Targeting Technician, MOS (1) (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) See MOSFET.

It is a subjective measurement that is derived entirely by people listening to the calls and scoring the results from [Military Occupational Specialty A Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) is a job classification in use in the United States Army and Marine Corps.

I noticed that several of the articles were authored or co-authored by FA Targeting Technicians. This should be acknowledged as a true sign of the maturation of the FA warrant officer program. Starting in 1993, the Field Artillery embarked on a program integrating warrant officers into the targeting arena. Throughout implementation, there were many growing pains grow·ing pains pl.n.

I think the articles in the May-June edition point out the success of this program and truly recognize the efforts of the commanders, warrant officers and NCOs who have made this program work. The May-June magazine illustrates the institutionalization Institutionalization The gradual domination of financial markets by institutional investors, as opposed to individual investors.

The high level of technical expertise and clear articulation of the technical applications of the targeting process highlight the successes of integrating a warrant officer into this important function. Additionally, the edition has an article "Q-47 Future Firefinder Radar" [by Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert A. Nelson, Jr.] that shows the FA Targeting Technician has maintained the technical edge and plays an essential role in the development and sustainment of our combat multipliers. With this praise, I'm not suggesting the maturation of the 131A Targeting Technician program is complete; we have many more areas in the spectrum of operations to conquer.
