First published in 1975. From the preface: "This monograph will
illuminate some of the more important activities - with attendant
problems, shortcomings, and achievements - of the U.S. Army Field
Artillery in Vietnam. The wide variations in terrain, supported
forces, density of cannon, friendly population, and enemy activity
which prevailed throughout South Vietnam tend to make every action
and every locale singular. Though based largely upon documents of
an historical nature and organized in a generally chronological
manner, this study does not purport to provide the precise detail
of history. Its purpose is to present an objective review of the
near past in order to assure current awareness, on the part of the
Army, of the lessons we should have learned and to foster the
positive consideration of those lessons in the formulation of
appropriate operational concepts. My hope is that this monograph
will give the reader an insight into the immense complexity of our
operations in Vietnam. I believe it cannot help but reflect also
the unsurpassed professionalism of the junior officers and
noncommissioned officers of the Field Artillery and the outstanding
morale and esprit de corps of the young citizen-soldiers with whom
they served."
