This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Specialised form of military brigade))
((for|the Finnish unit|Artillery Brigade (Finland)))
((Refimprove|date=September 2014))
An '''artillery brigade''' is a specialised form of [[military]] [[brigade]] dedicated to providing [[artillery]] support.  Other brigades might have an artillery component, but an artillery brigade is a brigade dedicated to artillery and relying on other units for infantry support, especially when attacking.

Initially, a brigade was normally formed for either [[offensive (military)|offence]] or [[defense (military)|defence]], but in the 20th century, as warfare became generally more mobile and fixed fortifications became less useful, artillery brigades were formed for either purpose, the main exception being [[Coastal artillery|coastal defence]].  During the [[World War II|Second World War]], the use and formation of artillery brigades (normally having between 3,000 and 4,000 personnel, with between 24 and 70 guns)  gained prominence, as they could be attached to [[division (military)|divisions]] that needed them, then detached and re-attached elsewhere as the need arose.

A specialised type of artillery brigade is the [[anti-aircraft]] brigade.  During the Second World War, many anti-aircraft brigades served both to defend from air attack and as offensive units against [[Armoured fighting vehicle|armoured vehicle]]s - this was especially true with the effective [[Germany|German]] artillery.

Modern artillery brigades tend to be smaller and even more specialised than in the past, often specifically trained to handle just one or two types of artillery.  In tactical terms, the use of [[helicopter]]s has taken over much of the historic advantage of the artillery brigade.

==Royal Artillery==
From 1859 to 1938, "brigade" ("brigade-division" 1885–1903) was also the term used for a battalion-sized unit of the [[British Army]]'s [[Royal Artillery]]. This was because, unlike infantry battalions and cavalry regiments, which were organic, artillery units consisted of individually numbered [[artillery battery|batteries]] which were "brigaded" together. The commanding officer of such a brigade was a [[Lieutenant colonel (United Kingdom)|lieutenant colonel]]. In 1938 the Royal Artillery adopted the term "regiment" for this size of unit, and "brigade" became used in its normal sense, particularly for groups of anti-aircraft artillery regiments commanded by a brigadier.<ref>Maj-Gen Sir John Headlam, ''The History of the Royal Artillery'', Vol II  (1899–1914), Woolwich: Royal Artillery Institution, 1937.</ref>

==Artillery Division==

Specialised artillery divisions were established by the [[Red Army]] during the [[Second World War]], in October 1942.<ref>David Glantz, "Colossus Reborn," University Press of Kansas, 290-291.</ref> Initially composed of eight regiments, they were supplemented by four-brigade artillery divisions by December 1942. They are mostly used by large armies with large territories to defend and with a large manpower base. Examples include [[34th Artillery Division]] and [[51st Guards Artillery Division]]. Artillery divisions are usually tasked with providing concentrated firepower support to higher combined arms formations such as [[Corps]], [[Combatant Command]]s or [[Theater (warfare)|Theaters]]. Artillery divisions were then established by the [[Indian Army]] since 1988 (two Artillery Divisions), the [[Iraqi Army]] for a short time between 1985 and 1998, and by the [[People's Army of Vietnam]] between 1971 and 2006. The concept of the Artillery Division is deeply rooted in Soviet military doctrine relies on treating artillery as a unique combat arm in its own right capable of achieving large results with its resources. It is a means to concentrate overwhelming firepower in a small geographical area to achieve a strategic breach in the enemy defences.
