Field Artillery Equipment Kit

Field Artillery Equipment Kits are specialized sets of tools, equipment, and components that are designed to be used interchangeably between different classes of weapons within the field artillery category. These kits are part of the supply class "Assemblies Interchangeable Between Weapons In Two Or More Classes" in the supply group "Weapons."

Field Artillery Equipment Kits typically include items such as:

1. Breech mechanisms: These are the components that allow the loading and firing of ammunition in field artillery weapons. They may include breech blocks, breech rings, and other related parts.

2. Recoil systems: These systems help absorb the recoil generated when a field artillery weapon is fired. They may consist of recoil cylinders, recuperators, and other associated components.

3. Firing mechanisms: These are the mechanisms responsible for initiating the firing sequence in field artillery weapons. They may include firing pins, firing lanyards, and other related parts.

4. Sighting and aiming devices: These devices help artillery crews accurately aim their weapons. They may include telescopic sights, quadrant elevation mechanisms, and other sighting components.

5. Mounting and carriage systems: These systems provide the necessary support and mobility for field artillery weapons. They may include gun carriages, trail assemblies, and other related components.

6. Ammunition handling equipment: These tools and equipment aid in the loading, unloading, and transportation of ammunition for field artillery weapons. They may include ramming rods, shell hoists, and other associated items.

7. Maintenance and repair tools: These tools are essential for the upkeep and repair of field artillery weapons. They may include wrenches, cleaning kits, and other maintenance equipment.

Field Artillery Equipment Kits are designed to ensure compatibility and interchangeability between different classes of field artillery weapons. This allows for efficient logistics and maintenance operations, as well as the ability to quickly adapt and reconfigure artillery units based on operational requirements.
