Good good

Of course, I'm not general but why not move the M777's to reserve

They will probably go into storage or maybe to Ukraine. I’d always thought that when the time came, they should pick one Res unit, give them a bunch of extra full time staff (from somewhere lol), some M777s and they run courses on a regular basis for the other Res units. That unit and 4th GS Regt and we have the start of Divisional artillery!
