After many weeks of intense theoretical training and practice drills, the Artillerymen of the 4th Brigade, 205 "Hero" Corps, Afghan National Army, took to the heavy weapons range at Multi National Base -- Tarin Kot for their first live fire exercise. Watched over by their Australian and American Mentors, who are being assisted by a new team of Mongolian Artificers, the Afghan soldiers brought their D30 artillery pieces into action, direct firing at targets on the range. The Afghan Artillerymen clearly demonstrated the skills that they had received from their Mentors, competently and professionally manning their weapons and engaging their targets. The increasing skill set of the Afghan National Army, is further augmented with these artillerymen reaching this important milestone. In the past the Afghan National Army in Uruzgan has relied on Coalition Forces to provide the offensive support that artillery brings to the battlefield, with a short period of final training to take place, these soldiers are significantly closer to taking over responsibility for the security of their country.

Apr 7, 2012 - My name is David, I was the Officer in Charge of the range and incharge of their training. That was the first time I got to fire field artillery as direct fire and it was amazing. I have never been in the middle of a ball of fire until that day. Hopefully we will get to do it again in a couple of months.
