So two thirds of its non-divisional (those that that are not part of a combat division) artillery battalions will be converted to other uses (engineers, military police and civil affairs.)

Based on my 2 years as an ALO working with artillery officers - this sounds like they just created a lot of deaf engineers and police.

Bad idea, IMHO.

See? Mindless insulting ad hominums, not a scrap of actual thought. It is all verbal hallucination. Heavy mentally hints at fat slow plodding, artillery mentally hints at REMFs, NG mentally hints at middle age has beens. That 155mm ICM from 5 miles away is much more useful in battle than 5.56mm from 250m, is just ignored.
