Our guest for this episode is Chief Kevin Fischer, a member of the Delta Company for the U.S. Army 249th Engineer Battalion, a division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Fischer, who has 18 years of service, supervises lineworkers in the military.
During this episode, he describes the two different military occupation specialties (MOS) related to line work--the 12 Papa for generation and the 12 Quebec for distribution. He also describes overseas missions and how lineworkers respond to requests for individual combatant commands throughout the world.
As part of Prime Power, the lineworkers also have the opportunity to compete at the International Lineman's Rodeo. Each year, the U.S. Army brings journeyman lineworkers to Kansas City to compete in the military division.
For more information, tune in to a recent Line Life Podcast episode featuring SSG Christopher Garrett and go to Podbean to listen to other episodes focused on the military in the line trade. Thanks for listening, and we look forward to seeing you at the 2025 International Lineman's Rodeo Week in Kansas City!
