The article discusses the importance of cannon artillery in the Marine Corps and raises concerns about a potential shortfall in this area. The Commandant of the Marine Corps has proposed divesting from 16 M777 155mm Howitzer batteries and investing in 14 M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) batteries. However, the author argues that this restructuring creates a capability shortfall and increases logistical demands, which could hinder the Marine Corps' ability to conduct maneuver warfare and effectively support combat commands. The author emphasizes the importance of organic cannon artillery in achieving mission success and suggests that a minimum of nine batteries of 155mm artillery is needed to meet commanders' needs for indirect fire support.
