NTC's First Senior Radar and Targeting NCO.

The National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California, has added a new member to the Fire Support Combat Trainers. In November, Sergeant First Class Robby K. Steadham, Military Occupational Specialist (MOS) 13R40 Firefinder Radar Operator, became the first Senior Radar and Targeting NCO to join the Were Wolves. Since that time, he has been an active coach, mentor and trainer for rotational leaders and soldiers at the NTC.

This new era at the NTC is greatly benefiting the NCOs and soldiers in radar sections who are employing their systems in the country of Mojavia. SFC Steadham's extensive knowledge and background in targeting will help those NCOs transition into their new roles as targeting NCOs at the brigade, division and corps levels.

SFC Steadham is focusing his coaching efforts on radar employment, troopleading procedures, risk management, pre-combat checks and inspections, employment of security and survivability assets, radar site selection, radar shelter operations, battle tracking and radar zone management. His priority is to ensure radar NCOs become fully integrated into the military decision-making process (MDMP).

If you have questions, contact Chief Warrant Officer Two Timothy D. Lancaster, Combat Radar/Targeting Trainer, or SFC Steadham of the Were Wolf Team at DSN: 470-6962 or by email at [e-mail] and [e-mail], respectively.
