Explanation:
Greetings.

Three equivalent terms used in the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) are pasted below.

FYI, in most Arab military establishments, only officers in the field artillery branch do that function of planning and providing fire support (FS) to a unit.

Daabit isnaad al-niraan = ضابط إسناد النيران

Daabit al-isnaad al-niraanii = ضابط الاسناد النيراني

Fire support specialist = إخصائي الاسناد النيراني

FYI, the complete term in the Arabic usually includes a term that specifies which level of unit the FS coordinator is supporting, i.e., battalion or brigade, so the full title for a "brigade-level FS officer" is:

Daabit isnaad niraan al-luwaa'= ضابط إسناد نيران اللواء

Hope this helps.

Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Correction to term (double-checked my Arabic field manual):

SHOULD BE: Daabit al-isnaad al-naarii = ضابط الإسناد الناري

Ditto re "FS specialist" (NCO position)
