The Artillery Battalion (Dutch: Bataljon Artillerie) is the only artillery battalion in the Motorized Brigade of the Belgian Armed Forces.

It was created in 2010 by merging all artillery units that remained in the Belgian military. It upholds the traditions of the disbanded 2nd Field Artillery Regiment. The battalion is based in Brasschaat and consists of a Mortar battery, operating 120mm mortars and a howitzer battery, operating 14 LG1 105 mm (4.1 in) howitzers. A third battery, which operated Mistral surface-to-air missiles and based in Lombardsijde, was disbanded without replacement on 31 December 2017.

On 23 December 2018 it came under command and provides fire support to the Motorized Brigade. The battalion supports the other motorized brigade units with observations (employing forward air controllers) and artillery fire. In total, it consists of more than 450 soldiers. 10% of the battalion soldiers are also trained Paracommando and can be employed to support the 2nd Commando and 3rd Paratrooper battalions of Special Operations Regiment. In the near future a battery of long range 155mm artillery is to be created. It was also announced in 2020 that a battery of air-defense artillery was to be reactivated before 2030.[1]

Pays constitutif

Un pays constitutif est un pays qui fait partie d'une entité plus vaste, notamment d'un État unitaire souverain, qui lui accorde un statut d'autonomie politique se traduisant par un degré plus ou moins important d'autogouvernance, comme c’est le cas, par exemple, au sein du Royaume-Uni ou du Danemark. En revanche, la création d'un État fédéral résulte, bien souvent, d'une union entre États souverains, appelés alors « États fédérés » ou, éventuellement, « Ét...
