This video demonstrates the types of ammunition, the tactical significance of artillery, and the sequence of events from enemy reconnaissance to the final engagement. The reconnaissance/observation team (Fennek armored reconnaissance vehicle and optical equipment) determines the enemy’s coordinates. This information, along with a recommendation for engagement, is then relayed to the higher command post. The higher command post decides on the type and extent of engagement based on its priorities. This decision is communicated to the fire control center (Fuchs armored personnel carrier). The fire control center then relays the coordinates, the type of ammunition and fuze to be used, to the artillery platoon (up to four tank howitzer 2000s). This can be done online via target data or verbally via radio. Typically, the PzH 2000s then move out of cover, fire, and subsequently return to cover.
The PzH 2000s then typically move out of cover, fire, and subsequently return to cover. This video also features interviews with members of Artillery Training Battalion 325 and their commander.
The artillery firing shown here is part of the training for officers at the Naval Operations School in Bremerhaven. Artillery Training Battalion 325 from Munster only provides technical support for this training. Therefore, the tactical movement of the self-propelled howitzers between cover and firing position is omitted. The naval officers complete this training with the Army because naval guns, with their similar range, function like land-based artillery. Here, they learn to determine the enemy’s coordinates, relay them, and assess the resulting effect.
