United States Army Artillery

The United States Army Artillery is a branch responsible for operating large-caliber weapons like cannons and missile systems to support soldiers on the battlefield. Their role includes targeting and firing projectiles to destroy or disable enemy forces, fortifications, and equipment from a distance. Artillery units coordinate precise indirect fire, meaning they hit targets not in direct line of sight by calculating angles and distances. They provide essential firepower, enhance battlefield awareness, and work closely with other military units to shape the outcome of combat operations effectively.
