Lessons Learned, Headquarters, 2 Field Force Vietnam Artillery

Abstract

This reporting period was again characterized by numerous and rapid repositionings of II FFORCEV Artillery units to counter specific enemy threats and the frequent use of heavy artillery to conduct artillery raids and to provide an assault fire capability in support of both US and allied operations. The realignment of forces which occurred on 17 Oct 69 placed all heavy artillery battalions under the direct command and control of this headquarters. Continued emphasis was placed on the improvement and modernization of ARVN and CIDG Artillery. The period was highlighted by the activation of two ARVN Artillery battalions, a training program for CIDG Artillerymen and the formulation of the Artillery Dong Tien (Forward Together) Plan.
