Leaders from 6th Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, observed an M109A7 Paladin departing a hide site and executing a fire mission at Forward Operating Site Torun, Poland, Aug. 19, 2026. During the visit, Dragoons received briefs at the battalion main command post, the platoon position area for artillery, and the observation point to better understand the fire mission process they help drive in the fight. From Aug. 16–22, Bravo and Charlie Batteries, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, conducted and qualified Artillery Table XII, executing live‑fire missions and performing core artillery tasks. On Aug. 19, Dragoon leadership, including Dragoon 6, Lt. Col. Phillip Edmondson, observed training to gain insight into how the field artillery battalion fights and survives, and how Dragoons, the brigade fire support element, and the gunners synchronize to enable the Ready First Combat Team.
Fox Forward Support Battery, supported by Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, provided sustainment, logistics, field maintenance, and recovery operations for the firing batteries. HHB also qualified its Q‑53 counterfire radar crews on observing fires and operating their systems. (U.S. Army photo by 1st Lt. Bryan Kott)
