The capabilities of the 166th Regiment - Regional Training Institute's 1st and 2nd Battalions melded during a unique artillery live-fire training exercise Nov. 15, 2024 at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa. Forward observers with 1st Battalion used several models of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) to acquire targeting data of identified targets. This data was used to submit a call for fire to instructors and students with 2nd Battalion, who engaged the targets with artillery fire using M119, M777, and M109A6 howitzers.
