Research Articles

These articles all appear on different pages on the web and are all used by permission.  While many of them are Infantry based, they can all be adapted to the Field Artillery very easily.  Hopefully this information will help us to improve our impression.  If you have done some research on a particular subject and would like it posted, let me know!
