During week two, your Soldiers have completed their basic ammunitions training that includes proper ammunition handling, identification, and utilization. Your Soldiers learned Fire Mission processing and ammunition tracking. They also began learning the maintenance that is required for their howitzers! For some of them, this is the first time they get to be around a howitzer. Next week starts the real hands on.
Your Soldiers have learned how to maintain and act as a team during basic field operations to include establishing Howitzer Firing Positions on their howitzer systems. They continue to gain confidence in their new teams as they pursue excellence in the fundamentals. Next week they will be working on how to emplace a howitzer quickly and accurately.
