Just a quick thank you from a soldier's dad. The King of Battle did good. Check out the story at Army Times...
Enemy fire breaks through Stryker camp perimeter
FOB Pacesetter suffered no casualties, damage
http://www.armytimes.com/story.php?f=0-292925-2500597.php
""The troops manning Pacesetter’s 155mm howitzers unleashed five rounds of counter fire, silencing the attack.""

HOOah!!!
God bless and take care.

Firefinder has really revolutionized the field artillery. As soon as the enemy fires a round they are dead.

The problem with counterfire is the ROE, we do not want to be firing 155 rounds downtown, which is where a lot of the indirect is coming from. But it is also true that when any artillery round impacts within a few hundred meters, somebody is going to put their heads down, rendering them ineffective. Once the fires are cleared, you van bet someone is going to take notice. The radar is great for getting a firing location, and with patrols out on the ground, they can move to the locations. With the combination of techniques, their indirect fire is not timely, nor is it accurate. It is good to know that the Redlegs are contributing and maintaining the high standards.
