Artillerymen from 3rd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery Regiment, 101st Airborne Division Artillery Brigade hook up an M777 howitzer to a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, crewed by Soldiers of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, Jan. 31, 2018, at a Fort Campbell, Kentucky, training area. 3-320th FAR, conducted platoon-level live-fire certification and qualification during which howitzers and artillerymen were transported by air from one area to another to simulate an air assault gun raid. Artillerymen were allotted a specific time in which to prepare the guns to be sling loaded and prepared to be fired. Once given a fire mission, the artillerymen aimed their howitzers and fired on command. At the conclusion of their mission, they were allotted a specific time to prepare the howitzers to be sling loaded out. This training is conducted twice a year and is part of progressive training evaluation which begins with individual testing, and continues through battalion-level. (Photo by Staff Sgt.
