Precisely... and that someone was me!!!  As the Platoon Radioman (or company, or BTN, or BCT), I was attached at the hip to the 'leader' whether he was an LT, LTC/CDR, or COL/CAPT.  (Remember, I am Navy, but I worked with Army or Marines). He would tell me what he wanted (CS, HE, etc.), WHERE he wanted (the 'spotted hex' i.e) and I would call it in.  Our guys were pretty good at it too... 9 out 10 times it was on time and on target!!!
