Job Description

Fire Control Repairers are vital to combat success. From tanks and other combat vehicles, to infantry and artillery systems, the Fire Control Repairer ensures the tools used for battle continue to function properly, so the Army National Guard can face any challenge.

Your responsibilities will include maintenance and/or repair of: ballistic computers, a variety of laser enabled devices, optical equipment, and thermal imaging systems; commander's weapon station/auxiliary sights, aiming circles, image transfer assemblies, quadrants, mount assemblies, and fire control support equipment; test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment; and battlefield damage assessment and repair.

• Electronic and mechanical principles and concepts
• Understanding schematics, drawings, blueprints, and wiring diagrams

Helpful Skills

• Strong attention to detail
• Interest in working with weapons

Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience to enjoy a civilian career as an electronic mechanic, an avionics technician, or a missile facilities repairer with civilian firms that design, build, and test weapons for the military.

Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to train. In the Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition assistance.

Job training for a Fire Control Repairer consists of 10 weeks of Basic Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and 19 weeks of Advanced Individual Training, including training in equipment operation. Part of this time is spent in the classroom and part in a field environment.
