They forgot to cover the most important items: Copenhagen dip, cigarettes, and snacks. 😂

Artillery is arguably the single most important component in a modern army. Nice to see them get respect.

Good to see an NCO that isn’t super serious and even asks for help from the group.👍

The artillery knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the artillery from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.

I like how candid this was. Didn't feel overly edited or scripted -- this is the way. Good work to the instructor and Business Insider.

Seems like a chill and funny guy lol

As a teen growing up on Fort Sill i loved hearing the sounds of freedom every day while in school. Now as an adult i get to hear the sounds of freedom from the Marine side of things at Quantico. Wouldn't trade it for nothing!

After 14 minutes I am ready for my first fire mission. What a great instructor.

Nice 105mm howitzer. We had the M101 that saw action in WWII , Korea and Vietnam. Times and technology has changed but it is good Semper Fi! USMC 0811 Cannon Cocker

It's impressive to see Staff Sergeant attention to detail in preparing for field exercises, ensuring he has the necessary gear for safety and effectiveness. 💪 His emphasis on hydration and maintenance tools underscores the importance of readiness in challenging environments.

Was at Ft Sill in 1971 . Some things are the same, some modern digital equipment. It is still the greatest killer on the battlefield

Shoutout to our FA and ADA servicemembers that are unfortunately stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I know the struggle of being in Lawton myself, stay strong!!! 😂😂😂

meanwhile russians are using cellphone and telegram for communications lol

Artillery, King of Battle! Often forgotten. Even the current russian-Ukraine war, artillery fire accounts for about 80% of the casualties on both sides

That was one of my Chiefs!! 13B all the way baby!!

This guy sounds very experienced in the art of camera speaking. Also I would love to see a Combat Camera loadout!!

I think the best part is they made the triple 7 do multiple fire missions just to not say anything about it

Gotta love to see that the meta hasn’t changed too much since round 2

These are the best episodes!

What they don't show is scrambled brains from the pressure when each one is fired :)))

Thank you all real soldiers for protecting all Americans and allies around the world. Together we are strong and can overcome anything and anyone. FREEDOM.

Wow thats very impressive

This is coming from a army vet that spent 7 years in 2 FA units. When fire missions were going on most of those soldiers were not in full kit. The most they wore was the eye pro, ACH, and gloves. Most of the NCOs i knew back then basically said it makes no sense to have all this weight on when we need to move fast to get rounds down range. If were to get attacked, it wouldn't come from small arms, it would come from the air and if were getting mortared or shelled, no vest or plate is going to save us. So they basically wore that stuff when the higher ups were coming around.

Still use call signs muleskinner or bulldog?

the advent of drones has completely changed the landscape of the modern battlefield putting even artillery units at risk

Attack the D point!

Went to fort sill for school house in 2014. Ended up at 29 stumps.

13Bravo God bless America 🇺🇸

Never ask an artillery officer where he is at.

Infantry says it sucks here Arty says it sucks here let's make it suck way over there

Ugh, fort sill, that place sucks, all I remember is the constant wind like 24/7

This guy defitinly got his e7 promotion incoming after this.

So, these days, the Assistant Gunner is responsible for loading the 105 mm round and then closing the breechblock?! How come the RTO is sitting near the Gunner? Shouldn’t he be sitting in the back of an M1038 Humvee, instead? Both AN/PRC 77 and DR-8-A are replaced with the so-called “Sled.” How convenient. “Fire Control Computer” and “Gunner Display Screen” are something new (for me). Even in this digital age, that M2 Collimator must be here to stay. SSG Driscoll forgot to mention M119 - with powder charge 7, the maximum range is 17,500 meters, with powder charge 8 + RAP (Rocket Assisted Power), the maximum range is 19,500 meters. By the way, is that FP 240?

Warfare has changed and i think kamikaze drones can hit crew and gun as things stand.

👍

Wow, that's an officer!?

great information, hate that high-pitched screech every time you put text up to describe something...

I miss the "bunny hop"

Why do my comment get removed!?

13B here

Jim brown , NFL GOAT bruh

Those are walker electric headphones, if you have batteries you can hear everything…

democracy though high explosive. its the only way to vote!

You came from a rich country, as an ex Romanian artillery corporal I can tell you, we don't have half the items you do.

Round runner? Thats not what we called it…

Boo. Should’ve done a video with the triple 7. Those are cooler

Repeat?

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Goood lord that typing sound was too much

hearing someone speak out ach not in an acronym sounds so corny 😂

Great to learn from a true professional. We need these guys in Ukraine ASAP!

balls not included

LOVE FROM PUNE INDIA🇮🇳 😉🥰🥰🙂😊🥰

First

The sound effect for the text overlay is bloody annoying, please don't do that!

Business Insider supports Israel

Let’s be realistic, that plate doesn’t really do anything, it’s like putting on one piece of armour with one luck state but you need the other set to really see different. Sure that plate might protect your major organ but the lower half of your belly and the side of the abdominal area all expose and if you get shot in any of those spot you’re going down instantly still. Idk is it really worth the extra weight, I guess is what I’m wondering.

imagine how much free healthcare we could of had instead of this

I hate that noise

Just wondering if our enemies watch these same videos.

Izra3l: "but can it be used to target babies???"

The business of death and dying, i see.

Great video idea. Terrible sound design choice. The screeching text pop up made me stop watching after a minute.

2024: No optic, Condor PC, doesn't put on ears because he wants to "be able to hear and talk to people." Come on, Dude.

war propaganda

This just shows me why i like the Air force and Navy more then the US army. You need less people to fly a Plane and a lot of things can be automated or Optionally manned. and These land based weapon don't have that option. This seems a lot more complicated and time consuming then i imagined. and requires a lot of people to man this equipment. but it's light and can be transported easily. but Can't a Suicide Drone just destroy this equipment since it can't move quickly away from a drone? and This would require 10S of thousands of shells i don't know per day or very often and i don't know if the US can keep up with that kind of Artillery fighting.. As of March 2024, the US is producing around 28,000 155 mm rounds per month, with plans to increase production to 70,000-80,000 rounds per month by the end of 2024. However, the US may not be able to meet its ammunition production goals without additional funding. The Army plans to increase production to 60,000 rounds per month in 2024, 80,000 per month in 2025, and 100,000 per month in early 2026. The Army is investing in government-owned munitions plants, including a $1.5 billion investment in shells to increase production capacity. The US has a limited number of M119 howitzers, which are 105 mm howitzers that are effective for light units. The M119 has a shorter range and less explosive power than the larger 155 mm caliber, and it has limited projectile types. The M119 fires standard NATO semi-fixed ammunition, including the M1 (HE) High Explosive projectile with a range of 11.5 km (7.1 mi) and the M60 (WP) White Phosphorus smoke generating projectile with a range of 15.1 km (9.4 mi).

too many women on that gun.

Not serving a tyrant

Weird how manual it is....weird...I can think of tons of consolidation and automation. Did they just manually pick it up in this day and age? 😂very bad design. Uh why can't they pre-make the bullet rounds instead of manually load, in fact, it can automatically load...design looks like it was done in the 90s

Beside killing civilians what had even us army did

Too relaxed, why is there a guy sitting in a chair ?! Too many people in one spot Needs to be 2-3 people on one artillery piece not 15

God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins on the cross. This was the ultimate expression of God's love for us. Then God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Please repent and turn to Jesus before it is too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world.

Indians are white Aryans and our soldiers are more strong.

They should be in Ukraine. Shame on us.

The Staff Sargent has the rifle on safe. Wonder what all the people from the New Zealand video are going to say?

Ukraine conflict showed us that how vulnerable static artillery pieces are....
