  1-14 “If you make war,’ he would say to General d’Hédouville in December 1799, ‘wage it with
  energy and severity; it is the only means of making it shorter and consequently less deplorable
  for mankind.’79”, ― Andrew Roberts, Napoleon: A Life, ASIN : 0143127853, Publisher :
  Penguin Books; Reprint edition (October 20, 2015), Page 51.
  1-15 “There is still a tendency in each separate unit… to be a one-handed puncher. By that I mean that
  the rifleman wants to shoot, the tanker wants to charge, the artilleryman to fire…That is not
  the way to win battles. If the band played a piece first with the piccolo, then with the brass
  horn, then with the clarinet, and then with the trumpet, there would be a hell of a lot of noise
  but no music.” GEN George S. Patton’s speech to the Third Army, June 5th, 1944. Available

  3-1 “The Artillery was my strongest tool… repeatedly said that it was more a matter of the infantry
  supporting the artillery than the artillery supporting the infantry. This was an overstatement,
  but not too much of one… I wish I knew the countless times that positions were taken or held
  due solely to TOT’s. I also wish I knew the innumerable times… when counterattacks we
  smeared by the artillery.” General R. O. Barton, commanding the 4th Division. Page 254–255,

  Firepower of Artillery, Harrisburg, PA. Stackpole, 1965.
  4-14 “In a 15 May 1991 letter to the Commandant of the FA School, Major General Raphael J. Hallada
  (1987–1991), about the US VII Corps’ 24 February 1991 breaching operation, the
  Commanding General of the 1st Infantry Division, Major General Thomas G. Rhame, related:
  The performance of the FA in combat has caused all of us to remember what we had perhaps
  forgotten, namely its incredible destructive power and shock effect. The preparation fires I
  witnessed prior to our assault on the breachline were the most incredible sight I have seen in
  27 years of service. On 24 February 1991 Commander of the US VII Corps Artillery,
  Brigadier General Creighton Abrams Jr., and the Commander of the 1st Infantry Division
  (Mechanized) Artillery, Colonel Michael L. Dodson assembled the FA force. In support of
  the US VII Corps assault, General Abrams allocated the 42d, 75th, and 142d FA Brigades,
  two division artilleries, and 10 Multiple Launch Rocket System batteries to create a Soviet-
  style attack at the breach area. General Abrams positioned approximately 22 artillery pieces
  for each kilometer of the attack zone. More than 350 FA pieces fired 11,000 rounds while
  M270 Multiple-Launch Rocket Launchers shot 414 rockets in a FA preparation of 30 minutes.
  Besides crushing Iraqi morale, this massed fires destroyed 50 tanks, 139 armored personnel
  carriers, and 152 FA pieces. ” page 6. Boyd L. Dastrup, "Artillery Strong: Modernizing the

  5-3 “Soldiers of the 25th Infantry Division said their final farewells before heading to Thailand to
  participate in Pacific Pathways. Pacific Pathways is an operation conducted by U.S. Army
  Pacific that deploys personnel and material to support security cooperation exercises with ally
  and partner militaries. Thailand is one of the United States' oldest partners in Asia and the
  broad cooperation between the two nations continues on issues that benefit both countries, the
  region and beyond. "The division's area of responsibility is Southeast Asia and the Pacific
  Region so this gives us an opportunity to deploy off of the island of Oahu, train, and build
