    The Soldiers of the 142nd Field Artillery Brigade, Arkansas National Guard, hosted their annual Civic Leader Appreciation Day at the Fort Chaffee Joint Maneuver Training Center near Barling, Arkansas, on March 2.

    Civic leaders from across the state were in attendance. The leaders were met by the command and staff at the theatre on the installation, then flown via Blackhawk to the live fire exercise demonstration and static display site location. The brigade launched a barrage of rounds from the M109A6 Paladin howitzers and several rockets from their Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS).
