The Job Of A Cav Scout

[OkComputer398]

I understand there is a topic on Cav Scout AIT, but I was wondering what exactly a Cav Scout does. What exactly does the job entail, and what does a scout do?

Cavalry Scout (19D)



EnlistedOfficerActive DutyArmy ReserveClosed to Women
The Cavalry Scout is the commander's eyes and ears on the battlefield. When information about the enemy is needed, they call on the Scouts. They are responsible for reconnaissance and you will learn about various weapons to include explosives and mines. Cavalry Scouts engage the enemy with anti-armor weapons and scout vehicles in the field, track and report enemy movement and activities, and will direct the employment of various weapon systems onto the enemy.

Here are a few of the duties of a Cavalry Scout:

• Secure and prepare ammunition on scout vehicles
• Load, clear and fire individual and crew-served weapons
• Perform navigation during combat
• Serve as member of observation and listening posts
• Gather and report information on terrain, weather and enemy disposition and equipment
• Collect data to classify routes, tunnels and bridges
• Employ principles of concealment and camouflage

hope that helps.
