Requirement for Corps Artillery in Future Large Scale Combat Operations
The transition to a modular unit structure during the mid-2000s brought the deactivation of Corps Artillery and Division Artillery to meet the operational requirements of counter-insurgency operations being conducted in Afghanistan and Iraq. Division Artillery was re-activated in 2013, but Corps Artillery remains a relic of history. The purpose of this study is to analyze the history of the US Army Corps Artillery Headquarters as it pertains to large-scale combat operations and if there is a necessity to permanently re-establish this headquarters for large-scale combat and future multi-domain operations. This study was conducted by analyzing the history and doctrine of US Corps Artillery during World War I, World War II, and Operation Desert Storm utilizing the framework of the principles of fire support planning and the role of the force field artillery headquarters. This thesis concludes that there is an operational need to reintroduce corps artillery headquarters into the force structure because without this, it is impossible to synchronize and control fires at the corps level on behalf of the force commander.
