Artillery batteries are military units that operate large-caliber guns, howitzers, or mortars to support ground forces. These units are designed to deliver powerful firepower over long distances, targeting enemy positions, fortifications, or troop concentrations. Artillery batteries can be stationary or mobile, depending on their mission and equipment. Typically, an artillery battery consists of several guns, along with personnel responsible for operating and maintaining the equipment. They work closely with other military units, such as infantry and armor, to coordinate attacks and provide effective fire support during combat operations.
