welcome

Welcome, gunners and redlegs, to UBIQUE!, the Artillery World Wide Links Page. The purpose of this site is to bring gunners of the world together on a common forum.

This site has been operating for about two years and to date has generated quite a bit of interest judging by the number of entries to the guestbook.

Why have a gunner links site? Because the artillery is the sole arm of combat which maintains the ability to quickly pass information up the chain of command through its own dedicated communications resources. This ability provides commanders at all levels accurate up to date information on the rapidly changing conditions of the battlefield. Therefore, it falls to the artillery to take the lead in the newest arena of information gathering, the World Wide Web.

The quality of design and content varies from one site to the next, and not all links work all the time. Several sites are officially sponsored works, however most are the creation of interested members of the artillery profession.

what do the icons mean?

The icons throughout this site are representations of NATO standard map symbols - easily identifiable by soldiers around the world. A short explanation is included for those who have not seen these symbols before.

	The NATO standard map symbol for a Mechanized Artillery Headquarters - This symbol will take you to the information pages in this site
	This map symbol for an artillery survey troop/section. Appropriately by clicking on it, you will be oriented towards UBIQUE's huge collection of world wide artillery links.
	This map symbol represents an artillery maintenance section (gun plumbers). Click on this symbol to jump to technical information about howitzers contained in this site.
	This map symbol represents the signals troop within an artillery regiment. Click on it to get to the Contacts page with guestbook, email addresses etc.
