00:00.000 --> 00:02.078
(Beep) - [Soldier on radio] Number one, this is FTC,

00:02.078 --> 00:02.911
go ahead.

00:03.377 --> 00:04.461
(Beep) - [Soldier] Number one,

00:04.461 --> 00:07.185
Pull over reading four point one three six, over.

00:07.185 --> 00:09.745
^- It's important for the artillery to be in the battle.

00:09.745 --> 00:12.799
^In order to shape that deep fight for them,

00:12.799 --> 00:15.898
^We can go ahead and eliminate a lot of the enemy

00:15.898 --> 00:18.980
(cannon firing)
before they get closer,

00:18.980 --> 00:22.829
before the infantry gets closer to their objective.

00:22.829 --> 00:26.996
That will help prevent friendly casualties on the objective.

00:27.494 --> 00:30.322
And they can just sweep straight through the objective,

00:30.322 --> 00:33.570
do what they have to do to secure the objective.

00:33.570 --> 00:34.436
- [Officer] Stand By!

00:34.436 --> 00:37.510
- [Artillery Operator] Everyone stand by.

00:37.510 --> 00:39.776
- [Officer] Fire!
(cannon fires)

00:39.776 --> 00:41.155
- [Artillery Operator] All clear!

00:41.155 --> 00:42.627
(inaudible orders)

00:42.627 --> 00:43.460
- [Officer] Fire!
(Cannon fires)

00:43.460 --> 00:45.171
- [CPT Lacie Hutchins] So our artillery systems

00:45.171 --> 00:48.217
can range a lot longer than the direct fire systems

00:48.217 --> 00:49.569
that the infantry guys have,

00:49.569 --> 00:51.637
so we like to be able to shape the fight

00:51.637 --> 00:54.382
before they even come close within their range

00:54.382 --> 00:56.799
of their direct fire systems.

00:57.028 --> 00:59.927
- [Soldier] That good enough for you?
