11th Marine Artillery Regimental fire mission - Iraq 2003

How many tubes are there in a Marine Arty Regiment?

(Each light is a 100lbs+ M864 DPICM projectile, each one carrying 72 hand-grenade sized explosives headed downrange - someone is having a seriously bad day...)

thanx.
ahhh...155s. I was in 105s - we didn’t have those kinds rounds - mostly HE and WP (never fired flechette rounds) and we were a little closer to the battle.
by the time i went down down south, my hearing was already shot.
