Field Artillery is a branch undergoing a search for a mission. We just don't fire FA missions that much anymore. The American public and international media require us to execute perfect, precision strikes with no collateral damage.

FA isn't the tool for that.

I'm just wondering why they're sending red legs on patrol. MP's or infantry units should be out there.

Too busy policing the world in Europe, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, et al. FA battalions outside of limited applications in Syria and Iraq are underutilized.

Artillery units should be fully able to do this mission. Probably better than an MP unit.
