>>usually organized in a group called a battery

I've seen some mention of Ukranian artillery using distributed batteries. They use a smartphone app to distribute targets to artillery pieces (and I'd assume connectivity is via all those Starlink terminals Elon donated). This works for them because they've pushed initiative down the ranks and has a major benefit of making artillery duels more one-sided ('distributed' means it's hard to concentrate fire on). Teams set up, select a few targets, fire a few times, and move position (AKA 'shoot and scoot'). Best case is that they're getting underway while the projectiles are in the air.

This takes standard NATO doctrine a step further, and I think we'll see NATO change their doctrine.

I think the Russians are stuck with artillery batteries for the duration. To go distributed, they'd need to enable initiative at lower levels, and have good comms (something that also seems to be lacking).

Very good article, BTW - thanks for all the research!
