Fires Center of Excellence - How Artillery Trains
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Nice video from Fort Sill. I noticed the logo at the start incorporates the ADA insignia. TRAINING AT FORT SILL _________________ "TUMBLEWEED"

Exactly,

That's why ShoRAD is pretty much history. After all, training a troop how to use a Stinger is just as easy as teaching them the Javelin. No need for a separate MOS for a threat that really doesn't exist.

When was the last time US ground forces faced a credible threat from the air?

On that note, when were they last effectively attack from the air?

Points brought up when I was in ANCOC during a discussion on what MOS's are redundant.

The Marine Corps faces much the same battle with regard to amphibious assaults - people point out that the last one was Inchon... But they like to point out that the last nuclear weapon was used in anger in 1945, and we still keep a whole lot of them around... Neil

I went thru forward observer school at Fort Sill. Looking at all the cars and trucks on Signal Mountain makes me all nostalgic.
