Women in Artillery Units




Missoulian: First women move to Army platoon artillery jobs
Face of Defense: Officer Blazes Field Artillery Trail for Women
“The predominately male discipline of field artillery has had a few firsts for women, such as fire direction officers in Mobile Launch Rocket System teams and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System crews. But when Army 2nd Lt. Taylor Cardosi arrived at the 7th Infantry Division’s 3-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., she became one of the first women to serve as a fire direction officer in an M777A1 howitzer cannon unit.”
