Field artillery refers to large-caliber guns and missile systems that are used to support ground troops by providing indirect fire. These weapons are typically deployed in a mobile manner, allowing them to be positioned close to the front lines while remaining protected from enemy fire. Common types of field artillery include howitzers, mortars, and cannons. The primary role of field artillery is to deliver firepower to destroy or neutralize enemy forces and fortifications. It plays a crucial role in modern warfare, enabling armies to conduct operations with greater effectiveness and precision. The coordination of field artillery with infantry and armored units is essential for successful military campaigns.
