Which non-combat MOS provides indirect fire support to infantry?

• A. Intelligence
• B. Artillery
• C. Aviation
• D. Communications

Answer: (B)

Indirect fire support means delivering fire on targets that aren’t visible to the shooter, using weapons positioned away from the target and directed by observers and fire-direction data. Artillery specializes in this role, using cannons, howitzers, or rockets that fire from a distance and rely on forward observers and a fire-direction center to calculate aiming data. This lets infantry engage enemy positions they can’t directly see or reach, while staying protected. The other options contribute information, reconnaissance, air support, or communications, but they don’t provide the actual indirect-fire capability that artillery offers.
