ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Director (military)

A director in the military is like the boss of a special team that helps soldiers use big weapons to hit targets really far away. The director's job is to give the team directions on where to point the weapon and how to adjust it to hit the target. They use special equipment and instruments to make sure the shot is accurate. The director also tells the team when to fire the weapon and keep track of how many shots are left. It's a very important job to make sure the soldiers hit their targets and stay safe.
