- 18th_Fires_Brigade abstract "The 18th Fires Brigade is the only fires brigade under XVIII Airborne Corps. It is based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. It provides support to the Corps and other units as required. The 18th Fires Brigade consists of the following units: Headquarters & Headquarters Battery 1st Battalion (Airborne), 321st Field Artillery Regiment (United States) (M777 Howitzer) (Inactivation ceremony held on 14 March 2014.)[1] 3rd Battalion, 321st Field Artillery Regiment (M777 Howitzer) 3rd Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment (United States) (HIMARS) 188th Brigade Support Battalion Battery D (Target Acquisition), 26th Field Artillery Regiment (United States) 206th Signal CompanyA tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) battery will be added to the brigade in the future.18th Fires Brigade plans, synchronizes and employs joint and combined fires in support of forced entry operations, designated division or combined joint task forces and on order integrates attached ground and air maneuver forces in order to conduct full spectrum operations.The 18th Fires Brigade has served in multiple capacities over the past decade in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as well as the primary 155mm howitzer and HIMARS identity in the War in Afghanistan. The brigade was the only airborne field artillery brigade in the United States Army with 1st Battalion (Airborne), 321st Field Artillery Regiment providing the majority of the support for the 18th Fires Brigade's airborne mission.During the 1990s the Brigade had a single 155mm battery (Battery C, 5th Battalion, 8th Field Artillery) assigned to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, in support of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). This made for a healthy rivalry with the other elements of the Brigade that were assigned in support of the 82d Airborne Division. It allowed for the entire Brigade to train together at both Fort Campbell and Fort Bragg.1st Battalion (Airborne), 321st Field Artillery Regiment maintained a full capacity to provide 155mm howitzer fires anywhere in the world within 18 hours in support of the 82d Airborne Division and while supporting other global responsibilities. The unit had the unique ability to employ 155mm howitzer platforms through a "Howitzer Heavy Drop Package" capability which essentially allowed for the weapon system to be dropped from an aircraft while its paratroopers would then place the weapon into action. 1st Battalion (Airborne), 321st Field Artillery Regiment served as the United States Army's primary 155mm howitzer response in the Global War on Terrorism. An inactivation ceremony was held for the unit at Fort Bragg on 14 March 2014.[2]3d Battalion, 321st Field Artillery Regiment maintains a limited airborne ability. During 2008 while serving as the General Support Artillery unit in Operation Enduring Freedom 8–9, 3rd Section, Battery C, 3d Battalion, 321st Field Artillery Regiment became the first United States Army unit to fire the GPS Guided XM982 Excalibur Munition in support of combat operations while serving in the volatile Kunar Province while supporting the 2d Battalion (Airborne), 503d Infantry Regiment [3] of the 173d Airborne Brigade Combat Team.3d Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment (HIMARS) has served in the capacity to support various United States Army and other agencies with accurate and effective field artillery rocket fires.According to the Institute of Heraldry, "The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for the 18th Field Artillery Brigade on 29 May 1979. It was amended to include the airborne tab, add metric measurements and revise the description on 21 October 1992. It was again amended to change the color of the airborne tab on 5 February 2003. The insignia was redesignated for the 18th Fires Brigade and amended to delete the airborne tab on 22 March 2007."As of August 2009, the 18th Fires Brigade now dons the "All American" patch of the 82d Airborne Division. The 18th Fires Brigade became a general support field artillery brigade in July 2008 and falls under control of the 82d Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.".
