Tim, What did you do in the Army? I haven't heard anyone mention counter battery radar since I left the Marines 17 years ago. I was FDC for towed 155mm Nuclear Capable howitzers.
FDC (Fire Direction Control): a forward observer (someone closer to the enemy than I was) would call in the coordinates of a target. The FDC team would calculate the location of the howitzers (canons) and the location of the enemy target and determine what kind of round (several kinds of projectiles that can be shot through a howitzer, the arsenal my unit had at its disposal included Nukes) how to aim the canons, and how much gun powder it would take to get the round to the target. We would then call all that information down to the gun line and send the rounds down range. PS. Ask to your last question: Are we going to invade everyone? The Sam-ites, and Bushies are more than willing to invade everyone. Its more War time economy boom and neither of them nor their children are fighting so they really don't give a crap. >>>>> -----Original Message----- From: loathe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 7:09 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: speaking of Tell me I don't know what I am talking about Sam!! Tell me about losing people, for what? In non-armored humvees. Tell me why that largest air base in Afghanistan doesn't have a counter battery radar to respond to indirect fire, after you look up what that means. What about Indonesia? What about the Philippines? What about the Sudan, Afghanistan, Saudi, Egypt, Yemen? Are we going to invade everyone?
