Supporting fire inbound!

Dropping behind enemy lines often left US paratroopers in need of urgent fire support beyond the limited weaponry they could bring with them in the initial stages of an engagement. Fortunately, they could rely on the might of the USAAF to back them up, with strafing fighter-bombers on hand to neutralise enemy positions, and once the ground campaign got underway they could also call on emplaced artillery far to the rear of the battle to rain down high explosives. All of these weapons needed to be co-ordinated by a forward observation officer, armed with binoculars, maps, and radios, to ensure that they arrived when and crucially where they were needed!

Forward Observer teams are a powerful asset to any Rifle Platoon in Bolt Action, able to call in powerful artillery or air strikes, and acting as Spotters for any indirect-fire weaponry in your force. American Air Observers are even more capable, being able to call in two air strikes per game, and as such no US force is complete without at least one! With US Airborne often being somewhat light on supporting equipment, the firepower provided by this team can be a vital part of your strategy, and their warm winter clothing means they can lay in a snowy vantage point all game long!
