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 M105 towed 105mm howitzer. M102 howitzers were frequently operated on the Fort Carson reservation and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site for exercises.
