"It takes time to have aircraft on station, as with artillery - it's just a faster means of returning fire to the enemy," said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Thomas D. Kircher, senior watch officer for the regiment's combat operations center. Well, here it is from somebody on the line. Quick reaction fire support in all conditions -- who would have thought that had value with all the PGM available? /sarcasm FAMPL bttt -- thanks, Ragtime Cowgirl.

yep, now that Najef is starting to settle back down, we can expect the creeps at Fallujah to start back up again.

Can anybody who has done this for a living enlighten me as to how the call for artillery is accurately placed? I am a geologist by degree so you can speak in map terms, I understand. But, how are the grid coordinates placed down to the unit level and what is the accepted accuracy?

Is there
anybody who even comes close to training fighting men as well as the USA? I THINK NOT!
God bless these Marines!

"It's so much harder to clear rubble than to clear buildings that are already standing." I wonder why that is? I would just make smaller rubble.

Although they didn't belong to the Marines, I passed a convoy of these "big guns" on 71hwy in Missouri last year. I counted 35 guns being towed, along with support trucks.
All I could think was "GodSpeed," and "Give 'em Hell!"
