First let us decide if we want to employ this force for offensive ops or defensive ops. In case one wants to deploy this force for an offensive operation, then a lot of questions pop into ones mind: 1. How far away would be the offensive ops from the launch base/pad? Calc. round trip endurance...

As far as I know Oto-Melara-56,105mm is a Pack How. mostly used in mountainous terrain therefore it would not form part of a regiment but assigned to smaller units depending upon indirect fire support to front line units from established fire bases.

As far as I know, IBAG's were formed to forward deploy Armored Elements in smaller units to counter Cold Start. These were designed to be self contained, highly mobile units to engage the enemy in blocking actions around man made obstacles in our desert areas. Essentially, give time to bring...
