REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY
The Regiment of Artillery constitutes a formidable operational arm of Indian Army, with the units being organised on a Corps and Divisional basis. In an infantry division, artillery consists of three field regiments, one light anti-aircraft regiment and medium guns as and when required. Artillery is now classfied as a combat arm. Its role is to dominate the battle field with its immense firepower so that an enemy can neither interfere with the operations nor develop their own effectively. For air and sea targets, gunners operate in conjunction with air and naval forces. The Regiment is the second largest arm of the Indian Army and constitutes almost one-sixth of its total strength. The Artillery Centre is at Nasik, Maharashtra. The Regiment celebrated its 175th Anniversary in 2002. The Regimental insignia has a gun with star of India above it. Its motto is ‘Sarvatra Izzat-o-Iqbal’ (Everywhere with Honour and Glory).
