00:00.009 --> 00:03.890
Number two , for us , our

00:03.900 --> 00:06.269
mission is to provide fires for

00:06.280 --> 00:09.140
maneuver elements basically to allow

00:09.149 --> 00:12.010
infantry to move and progress through

00:12.020 --> 00:15.770
the battlefield . So we are destroying

00:15.779 --> 00:18.209
targets in advance to clear the way for

00:18.219 --> 00:22.170
them . Number

00:22.180 --> 00:25.610
two , I am sergeant first class cooly .

00:25.620 --> 00:28.719
I am the smoke for Alpha battery first

00:28.729 --> 00:31.430
platoon , uh 194 field artillery . Um

00:31.440 --> 00:33.551
Also platoon sergeant smokes the same

00:33.551 --> 00:36.119
thing . Our job as a 13 bravo canon

00:36.130 --> 00:38.869
crew member is to basically clear the

00:38.880 --> 00:40.880
way for maneuver elements so we can

00:40.880 --> 00:42.936
destroy targets from a long distance

00:42.936 --> 00:45.720
away . And with the 11 Niner alpha

00:45.729 --> 00:47.951
threes that we have here , it's a light

00:47.951 --> 00:49.951
towed artillery just like you would

00:49.951 --> 00:51.951
think the infantry shoots moves and

00:51.951 --> 00:54.062
communicates . We do the same thing ,

00:54.062 --> 00:57.319
but with how it's your , it's a high

00:57.349 --> 01:01.299
stress job , but it's very rewarding

01:01.409 --> 01:03.520
knowing that if we do a good job , we

01:03.520 --> 01:05.131
make a big difference on the

01:05.131 --> 01:04.550
battlefield .
