Field Artillery |
| As the "King of Battle," the
Field Artillery provides the massive firepower necessary for our Army to win
on the modern battlefield. Field Artillery officers lead soldiers and
command guns and rockets-they "Fight with Fires." And they integrate
all fires-Field Artillery, tactical air, Naval gunfire, Army aviation, and
mortar fires-into combined arms operations. Aritllerymen put "Steel on
Target" in the right place at the right time to shock, immobilize, and destroy
the enemy with devastating firepower. Artillery officers are combined arms warriors,
controlling the awesome firepower of the big guns while moving and fighting alongside the
Infantry and Armor. Field Artillery lieutenants command cannon and rocket platoons. They also may be assigned as company fire support officers with Armor and Infantry or as battery fire direction officers with Field Artillery units. Later, as captains, they command Field Artillery batteries. As commanders, they make the decisions and accept the responsibilities for training management, maintenance operations, and the welfare of more than 100 soldiers. They also may have the opportunity to be a maneuver battalion fire support officer, planning and executing the battalion fires of the combined arms team. If you're looking for a chance to lead in a combat arms branch with the highest quality soldiers, the most modern war-fighting equipment, and an unequalled tradition of victory, join the King of Battle. |
