Abstract
The article presents main features of artillery support assets such as the range of fire, possibility to attack a wide range of targets, inflicted losses, time of fire response, accuracy of fire, possibility to fire in different conditions and reliability of the task performed. Basing on the experiences and lessons learned from peace and stabilization operations, the author tries to define basic requirements that artillery must fulfill in the mentioned above operations. They include capabilities to function (operate) in an international environment, capabilities to redeploy, expected accuracy of fire and non-lethal character of operation in addition to a traditional one. Then the author discusses the necessity to respect the rules (limitations) while performing tasks such as the mandate of an operation, international law of armed conflicts, the principles of the use of force etc. He also defines basic task areas, especially artillery ’s detailed tactical tasks during peace support and stabilization operations. It is stated that the features of peace and stabilization operations, most importantly their aim, do not exclude the use of artillery but do not allow to use these characteristics in already functioning organizational structures created to support organic units and sub-units fighting mainly in war operations. The need to respond in a completely new operational environment requires using different forces and applying different methods of operation. Summing up, it has been discussed how to meet the mentioned above requirements, respect the rules, the aspects of artillery organization to combat and possibilities to accomplish tasks.
