ok my mistake I should have been a little more clear. There is a communications unit in allentown PA yet I'm going to the artillery unit in Reading PA.

I was a field radio operator and I had to call in the correct coordinates of where the Artillery battery
was suppose to fire. Had to have the right targets!
Also you have to have radio communications with your headquarters at all times to make sure that the right target was hit!!

It depends on what type of unit you go to. There are some things that you will enjoy while others your going to hate. Being with grunts or any other combat unit, they will expect comm to be up. In my expirence Ive been working with alot of old and broken equipment so comm wasnt always working (mostly not working). The best thing you can do for now is to get good at your job. If your in a combat unit just be prepared to do whatever it is they do. Ive been attached to a track unit and found myself working with the maintence guys.

Never been with an artillery battery. So these may not be too informed, but how about ranging information, commence and cease fire orders. Target info. Ammunition supplies. Medical assistance. Etc. , etc. ?????

Every battalion has commo equipment.
Artillery units have more then other battalions with the exception of an actual commo unit.
Fire Missions have to be passed back up to 30 km, how do you think they do that?

Every Artillery forward observer has a radio operator. If I were your I&I you can be sure you would become familiar with them.

For operating a field radio?
to provide communications in the field.
You tell us if you belong to the unit!!

To maintain communications with other units in the area. Is this a trick question?

Every type of military unit needs communication - especially artillery. Arty cant fire without someone telling them who, where, and what to shoot.

They need their own communications assets that are under their own chain of command so that when they need to talk to someone else, they do not have to rely on another commander being willing to lend them the Marines to do so.
