European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - June 12, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 4 the stars and stripes infantrymen tankers dinners to be affected first army developing by Marc Huet is Washington Bureau chief Washington is the army s separation of artillery into two branches one Field an the other air defense highlights a major change that is now go ing on in missile and air de lenses within the service that in time will affect everyone from the front line infantryman to the civilian Back Home. It also reflects the changing pattern of organization for ground combat to meet the needs of the times. The Artil Lery Branch is a consolidation of the coast artillery corps and the Field artillery effected in 1950with the passing of Long Range coastal defense guns. Recent demands for highly professional artillery skills particularly in Vietnam led to strict assignment policy in March 1966 establishing certain experience prerequisites for artillery officers selected for Viet Nam assignments. The recent decision to Fiel the highly sophisticated Sentinel anti missile system further High lighted the requirement for a re examination of maintaining air defense artillery and Field Artil Lery skills within one Branch. Army officials say the most important and immediate changes will affect infantry men tankers and gunners who for the first time in Many be arc will have air defense capability of their own. This new capability will be inthe form of the redeye the world s smallest guided missile that is now going to company size units in All of the army divisions world wide As Well As the new air defense artillery battalions armed with 20mm Vulcan or galling guns and the Chaparral missile systems. Redeye missile teams and the new air defense battalions Are being assigned world wide wit the exception of Vietnam where enemy air attack is no prob Lem. Once the War in Vietnam is ended these divisions will also receive the new air defense sys tems. Two Man redeye missile teams Are being assigned to in Fantry and tank companies an artillery batteries with the 2nd and 7th inf dive in South Korea at the top of the priority list. By the end of the year All the divisions in Europe and the . Will have redeye As Well a combat troops in Alaska and Panama. Redeye is an Infra red or heat seeking system designed for use against Low flying air Craft or helicopters. It is Shoil Der tired and contained in an easy to carry launcher. The system is easy to operate the army says. V aircraft detection is done bythe naked Eye. Taking a Lead on the aircraft the gunner presses the firing trigger when the electronics system show the aircraft is within interception Range. The first stage of the rocket motor ejects the mis Sile 20 feet and the second stage sends it on to the target. Vulcan Chaparral air  Are a bit More complicated. These battalions Are being organized at the air de sense Center at it. Bliss  will have essentially the same Mission As redeye and i addition their Vulcan guns will have a ground fire support mis lion such As aaa battalions had in world War ii with their quad.50-caliber machine guns. Each battalion will have two batteries of full tracked self propelled Vulcan automatic weapons and Chaparral mis Siles. The battalions will havea strength of about 800 officers and enlisted  priority for assignment will again go to the two Divisi Sions in Korea then to Europe and the  and later to Divi Sions in  batteries will have what is basically a Navy devel oped sidewinder 1-c missile that has been modified for a ground to air rather than an air to air launching. The missile is aimed by the gunner seated in a tur ret mount who keeps the optical sight aligned with the target. Like redeye the missile automatically zooms to the target s heat  rapid fire 20mm Vulcan Cannon will make up the other half of the battalion s Arma ment. Each Cannon has six rotary firing barrels. Each bar Rel has its own Bolt Mechan ism that Chambers fires and extracts a round every time the barrel Cluster makes a com plete  than Likely these battalions will be under the direction of the division artillery role although in some cases the Divi Sion commander May direct their use officials say. Air defense Brand at the end of the spectrum of artillery sophistication is the Sentinel system and its defens against possible nuclear Black mail by chinese intercontinental ballistic missiles in the 1970s.in connection with the change the army announced tuesday twas forming two career Fields for All artillery officers.
