I just recieved orders to HHB in the 18th field artillery brigade, and am curious about what to expect when I arrive. In AIT, we did not touch on working with missile systems like the HIMARS, and most of our training revolved around working from an Observation Point or from within a manuver element. Any insight would be appreciated .

Potentially you are gonna have more fun than a man should have with his clothes on...

Step up, take chances, volunteer to get out in the weeds. Take a shot at CAS ... maybe think about SpecOps...

Either you’ll love it or hate it. Either way you get out what you put in.

Good luck!

18th FA is general support for XVIII ABC Corps- that means big guns- 155mm and or MLRS or whatever is vogue now- Isn't 13F an FO/FSO slot? If so then I would be the tech weenie at BDE/DIV telling them what your weapons can do, how to best employ them and calling for fire. The last time I saw MLRS- it wasn't a matter of getting pinpoint accuracy!
