Austrian Army reforms spawn hybrid recce and artillery units
Article Abstract:
A decision to create hybrid reconnaissance and artillery units is taken as part of the continuing reformation of the Austrian Army to make it more suitable for crisis management operations as well as dealing with disaster or national territorial defense. Three combined 'reconnaissance artillery' battalions are proposed to be set up to provide fire-control co-ordination and intelligence center for the brigade headquarters and conduct reconnaissance up to 50 km forward of its position.
