There's a National Guard artillery unit here locally.
I drove by it last weekend and dam near everything is gone. There are a couple of trucks and a few trailers there, but most of the equipment, including the big guns are gone.

Gone? or on maneuvers?

My small stateside Air Force unit in 1965 had a weapon for every man...2 M1911’s for officers, 2 grease guns for senior NCO’s and M 1 Carbines for about 40 enlisted. Viet Nam was heating up and we were ordered to turn them for shipment to the ARVN. Henceforth, we were unarmed.
