I haven't yet heard about this unit. I would also like to know some details if anyone has them. I was just at Ft Sill with some fellow NCOs and we had a discussion with some of the MGs at the MG Division along with Mr Crespo and we were talking about the possible merger of the 13Bs and 13Ms and how feasible it actually is. What I said was that the only way I think it can work (and I am still very reluctant if it can) is if we start integrating units with cannons and MLRS. I guess this unit may show us if it is possible. Looking forward to hear more about this!!

From what I understand, they're just moving to strictly HIMARS and serving under the 18th ABN Corps. Any details/sources relating to the half HIMARS half cannon unit?

What does not make since is the practicality of it actually working. The HIMARS would out pace cannon on the battlefield. This is unless we are talking about fixed pos. But then why use rocket. This unit just does not make any since unless it is a war games computer training session.
