Cable Systems Installer/Maintainer
Job Description
With the Army National Guards thousands of personnel and countless missions, the need for communications goes beyond vitally important to absolute necessity, because without ongoing and reliable communication, systems fail, orders do not get relayed, and missions come to a grinding halt.
Thats why the Army National Guard fields the communications maintenance team to keep the Army National Guard talking. Cable Systems Installer/Maintainers are primarily responsible for installing, operating, and maintaining cable and wire communications systems, communication security devices and associated equipment, including communications and electric cables between utility poles.

You may even get the opportunity to expand your certifications and credentials to make you that much more attractive to civilian employers.
