Read it. Same old Same old. In the last 20 years we once again regressed to the Vietnam firebase concept. We 'Unlearned that stuff in the 80-90s. Looks like we need to do that again.
Repeat after me " Shoot-Move-Communicate"
Drones are no different that the lack of air superiority that we thought we would operate under during the cold war.
Camouflage, conceal shoot from alternate and supplementary positions. Employ split battery and roving gun tactics
Go back to the thing I never see in the present conflict. Air Watch. Every vehicle in a convoy has at least 2 people with their heads out looking
for aircraft/drones. Same thing in a firing position.
Also NCO stuff, camo the position and camo is continuous. Replace dead vegetation, don't leave trash on the ground, don't have a set route between positions that make a visible trail. When you dig don't leave the fresh dirt exposed.
Longer range. Never going to happen with tubed artillery. Yes our allies have guns that outrange us. The fight in their own backyard. We have to load our guns on ships and planes to get to the fight. Those ships and planes are designed around a 38 caliber tube. So if we want longer range we can replace all our ships and cargo aircraft also, or we can design the guns with detachable barrels M-107/M-110 style. Then we can buy more ships/planes to transport the extra equipment needed to change/mate barrels to the chassis.
My solution is for the Army and the FA to stop thinking myopically . We don't fight/shoot alone.. FA is one piece of the puzzle. We have the USAF and USN. They have planes and missiles that can reach out and touch things beyond what our guns can. Figure pout what we need to support the infantry and let rockets/missiles and aircraft fight the deep battle
