Artillery is known as the King of Battle for a reason. Artillery can be a force multiplier for any unit when they get into trouble.

The Forward Observer (FO) and the Fire Direction Center (FDC) work together to calculate how to get the artillery rounds to the target. The gun crew aims, and feeds the shells.

The M777 is currently in use by the US Army, US Marine Corps, Ukrainian Army, Canadian Army, Australian Army, Saudi Arabian Army and Indian Army.
