| For those who have lamented the loss of the division artilleries (Div Artys), this should be a further sign that the Field Artillery is here to stay. He further might have mentioned the use of mathematics in gunnery, as described at great length in such a work as Niccolo Tartaglia's Three Books of Colloquies Concerning the Arte of Shooting Artillerie (translated by Cyprian Lucar), entered in the Stationers' Register on 30 October 1587 and published in the year of the attempted Armada invasion. Would we ever want an Air Force that did not first "own the skies"--or a Field Artillery that, bottom line, was not superior to potential enemy artilleries to conduct counterfire to protect our ground forces and enable their operations? |
