How Army Artillery Soldiers Train To Fire $4.3 Million Howitzers — The “King Of Battle” | Boot Camp



We traveled to the US Army Field Artillery School in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to see what soldiers go through in their advanced individual training.

Located 90 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, Fort Sill is one of the 20 largest military installations in the world. It covers over 93,000 acres, and over 13,000 active-duty personnel are stationed at the base.

Field artillery soldiers are assigned to one of five military occupational specialties: fire control specialist (13J), cannon crew member (13B), fire support specialist (13F), firefinder radar operator (13R), and multiple launch rocket system crew member (13M).

During our four-day visit, we followed future field artillery soldiers in each specialty and learned how they work together to provide field artillery support in battle.

@najeewarden9645

@sune6708

AYO BOSTICK MY BOY, IS THAT YOU? BASIC AT FORT SILL?

@stronzer59

nothing will ever match the sheer terror of the German WW2 anti everything Gun.

@genegleason4987

If this howitzer costs 4.3 million how much does a M 109 A7 cost? Towed artillery at that price is ridiculous

@Jarod-vg9wq

7:55 they should be trained to use drones, Ukraine 🇺🇦 use drones for Forward Artillery Observation.
