Infantry Division Artillery Headquarters and Staff

Abstract

My subject today is the Artillery Hq and Staff of an Infantry Division in combat. My purpose in presenting this subject is to acquaint you with the functions of the Division Artillery Staff and point out how the Artillery Staff assists the Division Staff and the Division Commander. We are all familiar with the fact that the Artillery supports the Division by fire, but the Artillery has other means of supporting the Division, and it is these other means which I wish to emphasize today. In covering this subject I propose first, to discuss the organization of the Division Artillery Hq, second, to take up very briefly the duties of the Division Artillery staff, and third, point out some of the ways an Infantry Division Artillery Staff can aid its Division Commander and staff.
