This book was released on 1970 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the period the 4th Infantry Division Artillery fired in support of maneuver forces participating in Operation Hines and Operation Washington Green. The operations ran concurrently and were still in effect at the close of the reporting period. The primary mission of the 4th Infantry Division Artillery was to provide continuous and timely fire support to the 4th Infantry Division and other friendly forces by destroying or neutralizing, in priority, those targets that jeopardized the accomplishment of the mission. The secondary mission was to increase the effectiveness of RVNAF artillery elements and enhance the security of civilian population in the area of operation. This was accomplished by instructing RVNAF artillery units in proper firing battery, FDC, and grid clearance procedures, as well as instructing RF/PF, CIDG, PSDF, and village members in the correct procedures for the adjustment of artillery fire.

Download or read book Lessons Learned Headquarters 54th Artillery Group written by ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE (ARMY) WASHINGTON D C. and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 0-1 aircraft support for the Group increased from three to five aircraft daily. This enabled the Group to intensify its visual reconnaissance program and to continue to use aerial observers to adjust artillery, conduct registrations and provide convoy coverage. In the month of April an average of 50 visual reconnaissance missions were flown each week and the average flying time per day was 25-30 hours. A total of 97 'adjust' missions and 130 registrations were fired during the month. Approximately 12 hours of convoy cover missions were flown each week. Visual reconnaissance missions continue to be the most significant source of intelligence throughout the Group area, providing an average of ten usable sightings per day. These, when correlated with other local intelligence sources, were the principle source of H and I targets, and targets of opportunity. A continuing problem is the difficulty of obtaining any surveillance of artillery fires directed into heavy jungle. In most cases it was impossible to assess enemy casualties from the artillery fire.

Whenever feasible, joint operations were conducted between ARVN Regiments and US Brigades with US Battalions operating in conjunction with ARVN Battalion. Artillery moves were made consistent with the above operations. During the period 1800 hours 24 December - 1800 hours 25 December 1969 and 1800 hours 31 December - 1800 hours 1 January 1970, a cease fire was in effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As US Army units begin conducting decisive action training in combat training centers, they must strengthen core field artillery proficiencies and relearn how to employ artillery successfully as part of a combined arms team in an expeditionary environment. To do so requires an appreciation of the field artillery fire support system's unique capability and its continued importance for future combat operations. Following World War I, US Army artillery officers developed the modern artillery doctrine and organization that remains relatively unchanged to this day. This doctrine developed from the lessons learned of the Great War and the ingenuity of the interwar period, and earned validation through war hardening and proper application in operations such as the Kasserine Pass battles and Operation Husky during 1943 of World War II. In March 2002 during the Battle of Shah-I-Kot in Operation Anaconda, operational planners sought to replace field artillery with airpower and mortars rather than employ it as an essential member of the combined arms team. This decision led to fateful results in the opening days of the operation. In future operations, the US military must not leave the artillery at home-station, or it will risk losing the ability to mass fires effectively, understand the operational environment, continually seek positions of advantage, and strive for simultaneous and complimentary effects. From March 21 to April 10, 2003, field artillery units of the US Army's V Corps provided timely and accurate fire support to maneuver elements during the initial invasion into Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Starting with destruction fires against multiple observation posts along the Iraq-Kuwait border, field artillery elements maneuvered alongside infantry and armor forces to provide essential fire support against Saddam Hussein's Army in the Iraqi desert and urban areas. Operating in the restrictive Euphrates River Valley and providing long range indirect fire support during massive sandstorms that restricted air support, artillery demonstrated its role as a key part of the combined arms team during an initial operation lasting twenty-one days and spanning over 720 kilometers. Following the conclusion of major combat operations, the US Army shifted to stability operations and implemented a counterinsurgency (COIN) strategy. Field artillerymen's guns remained at forward observation posts and performed fire missions consisting primarily of static counter fire operations. Given the limited need for such tasks, artillery units regularly conducted non-standard missions to include patrolling, base defense, and cordon and search operations. In Afghanistan, artillery units found themselves conducting similar missions, although indirect fire support to the maneuver force through counter fire and destructive fires in support of troops in contact constituted the primary mission.
