YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBeing in the artillery we tend to think we are safe from the majority of conventional direct fire weapons and the combat arms of the enemy that does not involve counter battery fire. However, the battlefield is constantly changing and in modern times it is easier for the worst enemy for a artillery battery to slip through the main battlegroup force.
Tanks.
One thing you would never want to hear while in a fire mission in the artillery is the calling out of: "TANK ALERT!!". At this point the gun position is extremely vulnerable and the battery either decides to fight back, crash out (run) or continue to fire your fire mission and still fight. It's scary to know as a gunner that a mobile force such as armored regiments could destroy an entire battery or even regiment of artillery if they got inside.
But we are not completely helpless. Thanks to the skill and professionalism of the artillery and how good our fire discipline is, we can fight back with the guns in a direct fire capability. In this instance of fire it is being as fast as possible to suppress and destroy the enemy armor coming towards you.
Thanks to 78th Field Regiment and their gun drills footage for this amazing look into the role of a gunner when things are not far away.....but right in front of you, pointing their barrels straight back at you.
Big shout out to 78th Field Battery
