In US Doctrine, Artillery is one of the chief warfighting functions. It's so important it's known as Fires. I was a 19K Abrams Tanker and have had great times working with our Artillery guys. A combined Battalion attack is super impressive to see, each type of Soldier working together all under the protective umbrella of Arty. Also in US Army service, the slang term for Artillery Soldiers is "Red Legs" taken from the old dress uniform which featured a large vertical red stripe on their trousers.
Just got finished with a Command Post Technician back in August, got the chance of actually putting that knowledge that I've learned to use during fire planning using Mortars. It was pretty cool, hectic, but cool.
Anyone know how competitive it is to get an artillery offer? Im a university student who's applied over a month ago and and really hoping I get an offer.
@@harryki6830 It's great. BMQ can be a bit stressful at times during drilling when new things are getting thrown at you. But other than that parade nights are real fun. You meet lots of cool people a make a bunch of friends
I wanna join, but l think l'm too old currently (27) for the active duty, so l may settle for the reserves eventually. Not as an Artillery Soldier necessarily, but in the forces for sure.
Canada does not have active duty, that is an American thing. There is full time (regular force) and part time (primary reserve force). Pres is different than American reservists in the sense that you train A LOT more often than US reservists. You are no where close to too old for the CF, reg or res force. There have been 50 year olds who have passed bmq
@-- That's true. I'm 37. Applied back in May and just heard back yesterday. They didn't call before and weren't doing interviews, due to Covid-19 and are now doing them over the phone. They want to interview me this Friday. The Reserves are probably best anyway, since they haven't been called into combat since World War II. They're a last resort basically and also often get called in for disaster relief. Canadian soldiers in World War II and today are still the most highly trained in the world. Even the US Marines receive less training than our troops.
just got accepted as an Artilleryman by the Canadian forces so excited.
Cameron Wilkins when is BMQ for you buddy ?
How does it feels like one year later?

Arty, affectionatley known as nine mile snipers, their role is crucial in combat.

I seem to cant find any videos on air burst rounds. How much damage do they really do ? They just look weaker then when they hit ground
Restating what he said, they're for soft targets (minimal armor) spread over a large area
@@blueberry1c2 expanding on that air burst rounds are mostly used for anti-air or anti-personnel in a pinch
Do you ever get to go out and do something as an artillery soldier when deployed or do you just fucking sit there firing rounds all day...
Vexii Bruh I mean it's an Artillery solider so ?
A bit late in the reply, but better late than never.
Artillery, when needed, acts as infantry.
Krista Warcop Good thing im doing my infantry dp1 before transfering to reg artillery then lol
Nick Foster how did that go so far and any thoughts?
45 years out and still UBIQUE!
IS THERE ANYONE IN ARTILLERY THAT CAN TELL ME IF YOU ACTUALLY DEPLOY
