With field gun batteries in the Defence Forces Training Center in the Curragh, Co. Kildare and at McKee Barracks in Dublin City, our unit draws its members from all walks of life in the Kildare, Offaly and North Dublin areas. Artillery is known as the King of the battlefield and for good reason. Our support to the Brigade starts with gathering battlefield intelligence by inserting covert observation posts close to the enemy, and follows through to developing and firing 'fire support' plans in support of offensive, defensive and retrograde operations.
