Operator: 4th Infantry Division
Location: Fort Carson, Colorado (USA)
Timeframe: 1991-1993
Personal Interest:
During my tour at Ft. Carson, Division Artillery (DIVARTY) was the primary ground operations consumer of the weather data I provided. Wind and atmospheric pressure data were necessary for accurate artillery strikes. Division Artillery of 4ID operated the M198 towed 155mm howitzer. Although 4th Infantry did not deploy for Operation Desert Storm, the artillery was nonetheless painted desert sand in case rapid deployment became necessary. M198 howitzers were frequently operated on the Fort Carson reservation and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site for exercises.
