Last year, the Idaho Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion of the 148th Field Artillery Regiment (FAR), headquartered in Pocatello, trained to use the M1156 Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) for guided artillery rounds, but that was in next door Wyoming. However, despite what information was released to the public last year, it turns out they did not actually fire ‘live’ PGK rounds, due to lack of time.

During the month of May, this year, the 148th FAR finally launched ‘live’ M1156 PGK rounds, on the Orchard Combat Training Center in Southwestern Idaho. It is all part of the plan to prepare for the upcoming global war with ‘near peer threats’: “The Idaho Army National Guard continues to receive and train on some of the military’s most modernized equipment so we can remain relevant and ready to defend our nation’s interest anywhere in the world. The Idaho Army National Guard is one of the most modernized states in the Army National Guard, with equipment that enhances our capability to be interoperable with our active-duty peers.”-Brigadier General Farin Schwartz
Idaho National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur, 20MAY2022.
This modernization also makes Idaho Army National Guard even more ‘deployable’ than it already is: “Being PGK certified greatly increases the lethality of the field artillery battalion.”-Lieutenant Colonel Brady Johnson, commander 1-148th FAR
Idaho Army National Guard photo by Crystal Farris, 17MAY2022.
The M1156 PGK not only makes the artillery round more accurate, but supposedly has a safety that prevents the round from exploding if it happens to stray 150 meters outside the programed target area: “With the new technological advancements of today, it’s vital for us to be modernized. The 1-148th is really good at what we do, but with the new PGK, we are even better, hitting targets with every single round. This type of weaponry is going to be crucial on the current battlefield.”-Sergeant First Class Mike Taylor, 1-148th FAR master gunner
Idaho National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Becky Vanshur, 20MAY2022.
Bean counters argue that despite the PGK round costing thousands more than an unguided round, far fewer of the supposedly more accurate PGK rounds will be needed, thereby actually saving taxpayers’ some money: “The modernized weaponry allows 18 separate targets to be simultaneously targeted and attacked at a third the cost of conventional missions…..”-Lieutenant Colonel Brady Johnson, commander 1-148th FAR
