About

3. The Field Artillery System The field artillery system consists of all of those elements. that are necessary to obtain the desired effect on the target. These elements include weapons, target acquisition, survey, ballistic meteorology, communications, mobility (both air and surface), logistics, fire control and coordination, automatic data processing, ammunition, organization, and employment. 4. General Considerations The development of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and their delivery systems has had an impact on the tactics of all combat arms. Even though nuclear weapons may not be employed, they pose a constant threat to all operations. When the threat of nuclear war exists, nonuclear war will assume many of the aspects of nuclear war, including detailed planning for the initiation of nuclear combat and a continuing analysis of friendly vulnerability.
