FIELD ARTILLERY ORGANIZATIONS
1. FIELD ARTILLERY GROUP

a limited degree of administrative supervision
b) Field artillery missile group (heavy)
-organized as a tactical and administrative unit and is self-sustaining.
2. FIELD ARTILLERY REGIMENT

operations and assists in the integration of all fire
support into combined arms operations.
3. FIELD ARTILLERY BATTERY
-can be employed in DS role to one of the maneuver battalion

ARTILLERY
- The field artillery is used as indirect fire
system. The system consists of the forward
observer (FO), fire direction center (FDC),
and the firing battery (FBTY).
TACTICAL EMPLOYMENT
1.Self-propelled FA is ideal to support a mechanized unit
to ensure that it is able to provide the support
necessary for accomplishment of the mission.
2.On the battlefield, a sophisticated enemy can locate and
engage a battery in various ways. To survive, the battery
must move frequently from primary position to
alternate position. Therefore said position must be
reconnoitered before occupation to effectively
accomplish the mission.
