Lessons Learned, Headquarters, 23d Artillery Group

Abstract

During the reporting period the 23d Artillery Group continued to provide medium and heavy artillery fires in general support and general support reinforcing missions throughout Military Region 3, RVN. The Group continued to occupy fire support bases along the border enabling these units to provide artillery support to ARVN units remaining in cambodia. Three artillery raids were conducted during this quarter. The raids, normally planned from one to three days in duration, were used to engage enemy targets previously out of range of Group artillery units and to demonstrate the fire power of heavy artillery to the ARVN. As an additional benefit, the artillery raids enhanced the unit's combat proficiency in reconnaissance, selection, and occupation of position.
