The Royal Artillery

The Royal Artillery is a branch of the British Army responsible for operating large-caliber weapons like cannons, howitzers, and missile systems to support ground forces. They provide indirect fire support, meaning they shoot from a distance to target enemy positions, defend areas, and assist in battlefield control. They also handle reconnaissance, radar, and missile technology, ensuring effective communication and accurate targeting. Essentially, they are the army's experts in artillery and missile systems, playing a crucial role in both offensive and defensive operations to shape battlefield outcomes.
