I served with the Artillery in the beginning of my career in the Marine Corps. 12th Marine Corps Regiment, specifically 4th Bn/ 12th Marines and 3rd Bn, 12th Marines in 1974-1975. Then to 29 Palms, MCB, California with the 1st Field Artillery Group, FMF, ie 1st FAG. As a Ground Radio Repairmen. As they say in the Corps the King of the Battle is Artillery and the Queen of battle is the Grunts. Gotta love these guys. Better to ride than walk I’d say. Semper Fidelis Marines.

@pyrotechnic5254 I believe so. By new generation I mean the one with GPS positioning and onboard fire solutions computer. Also has a travel lock mechanism for the tube that can be operated from within. The crew never has to go outside and has the ability to do quick fire missions at any time. There might be other improvements but I can't remember. I did see these being demonstrated live fire at Fort Sill. The original (well, compared to the newer version, that is a longer barrel so I guess the A1?) was the one I trained on. All gun data was generated and sent by the FDC. Later on I was the FDO for an 8" howitzer battery.

Why even have towed versions of the Howitzers if they could all be self-propelled?

[@richmanwisco]

This was a period of transition in the Army. A lot of the towed systems were holdovers from WWII and Korea. Self propelled systems were beginning to emerge based on developing doctrine to counter the Soviet Union. By the time I entered the Army in 1986, we were down to 7 main artillery systems (105T, 155T, 155SP, 8"SP, MLRS, Lance, Pershing) which soon went to 5 with the retirement of Lance and Pershing (the weapon that won the Cold War). It was a doctrine known as Air-Land implemented during the '80s that reorganized the composition of artillery formations and tactics.

[@26TptCoy]

Over 50 years ago and still some serious stuff. They used to select the biggest guys for artillery from the recruits, I asked but they said too small.

[@copperlemon1]

A true miliradian is one thousandth of a radian, which is (1/2π turns) or 57.296°. Therefore a milirad is about 0.057° or 3.438' However, NATO member state armed forces define a mil as (1/6400 turns), 0.056°, or 3.375' 1166 NATO mil is 65.5875° Hopefully this covers everything relevant

S-56 was the company designation of the helo. The military designation was CH-37 Mojave for those wondering. It was basically obsolete when it entered service. Only used until turbo-shaft heavy-lift helicopters could be developed to replace it like the Skycrane. Interesting tidbit of info: There WAS a variant of the CH-56 used as an Airborne Early Warning platform. Basically replaced the cargo bay with a radar system.

Speaking as an MLRS crewman...eh...it basically just turned us into infantry units. There's been very little need for MLRS batteries in recent conflicts. In fact, in the 3 years I spent in Iraq, not once did we ever bring, or use, out field pieces, and I served in both Paladin and MLRS units.

[@kevlarburrito6693]

@pyrotechnic5254 ...what?

[@kevlarburrito6693]

@pyrotechnic5254 If you're talking about the TMDP that didn't demil the launchers...just the older missiles, with most of them being reconstituted into new systems. The MLRS and HIMARS are both still in active service...so I have no idea what you're talking about. In fact MLRS is getting an upgrade. Wherever you're getting your info from, it's bad info.

[@kevlarburrito6693]

@pyrotechnic5254 you can probably still find the slide show from it online. Was a big thing that went out around 2015ish. They had to reconstitute the old missiles because the fuel can only be contained in them safely for so long before it's dangerous to handle them, nevermind fire them. Plus with the new upgrades, they came with new missile systems, so there was little need to keep the older ones around save for training maybe, if they weren't too old.
