Crops Artillery Role in Airland Battle-Future

Abstract

The conditions in which the Armed Forces now operate are in the midst of dramatic changes. These changes, along with a constrained budget and a declining military structure, have dictated that the US Army change its warfighting doctrine. The new evolving Airland Battle-Future concept proposes real changes in the way we approach conflict. Our forces will be mostly CONUS- based, deploying to areas of interests when conflicts arise. This new concept requires that our reduced Army forces be more deployable, versatile and lethal. In response to these changes in our evolving doctrine, it becomes necessary to redefine and update our fire support objectives and mission, our fire support system and the role of Corps Artillery. Additionally, changes in fire support objectives and mission, our fire support system and the role of Corps Artillery. Additionally, changes in fire support doctrine, training, force structure, materiel and leader development are necessary to maximize our capabilities.
