38th Infantry Division (Mechanized) Artillery.

The 38th Div Arty, with its head quarters in the Indiana National Guard, conducted decentralized training during the year.

3-139 conducted section lane training during AT at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. Many personnel from 3-139 FA were attached to 1-163 FA, a sister FA battalion in the INARNG that is part of the 76th Separate Infantry Brigade, during its May JRTC rotation.

2-150 FA (-), headquartered in Bloomington, Indiana, conducted battery lane training during its AT at Camp Atterbury in June. B and C Batteries underwent three separate training lanes covering offense, defense and gunnery. The lanes were evaluated by personnel from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and produced positive results. Battery A, 2-150 FA, trained with the 1-163 FA throughout the year and during 1-163 FA's JRTC rotation. Battery A upheld the proud tradition of the 38th Division Artillery and completed its missions with great success.

1-119 FA, headquartered in Lansing, Michigan, conducted AT at Camp Grayling, Michigan, in August. Its training supported the 46th Infantry Brigade. 1-119 FA also completed gunnery lanes during AT.

1-134 FA, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, completed a successful AT period in July at Camp Grayling. The battalion conducted section-level training.

Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 38th Div Arty, supported all four AT periods with personnel and equipment. In late June, the Div Arty fielded Version 11 software for AFATDS. Personnel from each battalion completed the "train the trainer" program and now are training their battalions.

Throughout the year, E/139 FA (TA) provided the battalions radar support for live-fire exercises at Camp Atterbury and Camp Grayling.

Redlegs of the 38th Div Arty are honing their skills for the challenges of the up coming year to support the 38th Infantry Division (Mechanized) during its BCTP Warfighter exercise in July of 2001. Cyclone's Thunder placing steel on target!
