context_page_description: This is a list of current United States Marine Corps battalions, sorted by the mission they perform.
context_section_description: Field artillery units provide indirect, long-range cannon and rocket fire support for the Marine Air-Ground Task Force.
  Currently, artillery regiments contain two or three (11th Marines only) cannon battalions and are equipped with the M777 lightweight, towed, 155 mm, medium howitzer and the Expeditionary Fire Support System (EFSS) 120 mm, heavy mortar. Two regiments (11th Marines and 14th Marines) also have one rocket battalion equipped with the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) equipped with the MGM-140 ATACMS surface-to-surface, guided missile.
  Marine artillery battalions contain a Headquarters Battery and three or four firing batteries.
  Firing batteries contain a headquarters platoon (including a liaison section with three forward observer teams) and one or two firing platoons (depending upon weapons systems). The firing platoon(s) contain a battery operations center, a fire direction center, and four or six artillery sections (depending upon weapon system). Counter-battery radar is usually a regimental asset, but can be detached to augment battalions or batteries.  By 2030 all but five artillery batteries will be disbanded.
