The Field Artillery Group in Support of the Corps and Field Army, 1942-1953.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the requirements which resulted in the organization of the field artillery group; its employment in support of the corps and field army in World War II and the Korean Conflict; and the evolution of doctrine and organizational structure from 1942 to 1953. Few changes were made in the organizational structure of the field artillery group from 1942-1953. Likewise, doctrine with regard to its employment changed very little. The concepts upon which the unit had been built were sound and presented to the corps and army artillery commanders a tactical headquarters with a high degree of flexibility in organization and tactics. These commanders were limited only by their own skill in using the field artillery group to provide effective artillery support for the corps and field army.
