operations of all kinds and help commanders visualize the

As a Geospatial Engineer, your primary responsibility will be to
collect and process military geographic information from
decentralized sources (remote sensed imagery, digital data,
intelligence data, existing topographic products, and other
collateral data sources), present this information to leaders, and
return decisions to the field.
You may also:
• Supervise topographic surveying, cartography, and
photolithography activities
• Assist in topographic planning and control activities
• Assist in determining requirements and providing technical
supervision of geographic intelligence programs
Job Duties
• Create geographic data and compile them into maps
• Create and maintain multiple geospatial databases
• Prepare military-style briefs covering all aspects of the

Helpful Skills
• Interest in geography, maps, and charts
• Ability to demonstrate basic computer skills and work with
drafting equipment
• Conceptualize ideas into computer-generated 2-D/3-D geospatial
products
• Preference for a technical career field
Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience
to enjoy a civilian career with construction, engineering, and
architectural firms, as well as with government agencies as a
surveyor, mapmaker, cartographer, cartographic technician, or
photogrammetrist.
Earn While You Learn
Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to train. In the
Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while
