It's basically "Boots on the Ground". In short, your Sailor is volunteering to work on the ground in Afghanistan or wherever else he is needed. I believe there are many different jobs he can do as an IA but will be on the ground instead of on the ship. We have an IA Group on the site but not many members. I would join the group and pose the question to the members there as well. Maybe someone has more info in the group.
