American Field Artillery

American Field Artillery refers to the branch of the U.S. military responsible for using large-caliber guns, howitzers, and missile systems to support ground forces in combat. Its main roles include delivering powerful indirect fire to target enemy positions, providing support during battles, and countering threats from a distance. Field artillery units can quickly move to different locations, allowing them to adapt to changing battlefield conditions. This capability enhances the effectiveness of infantry and armored units, playing a crucial role in modern warfare by enabling precise strikes while keeping personnel safe from direct engagement.
