Soldiers with Charlie Battery, 3-6 Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, brace the recoil spade of a M777A2 Howitzer in preparation for firing during rehearsals on Fort Drum, New York, November 30, 2023. The M777A2 fires 155mm shells with a muzzle velocity of up to 827 meters per second, generating a kinetic energy of around 18 million joules on impact. The M777A2 needs these recoil spades to keep it in place and provide a stable firing platform. (U.S. Army photo by Pfc. Elijah Campbell)
