Re: Worlds Armed Forces Pictures III

Well my toughts exactly. Are you sure that these aint the Muslim gurellians firing?

If they really are from Philipine army, the disipline is quite low. And without disipline conducting any sort of military operation, even as simple as all walk togheter as a group is impossiple.

Another interesting point is the low manning of the guns. Only two guys per gun. Firing a field howiters doesen't require more than one guy...if time is no asset. With two or three guys the firing rate can be acceptable. We ofter sort of accidentaly practised this as everytime when we started firing, the radio went on and said food has arived to the battery HQ...and nothing is more important to conscripts than food...:spam::spam:
