IMPRESSIVE! At the recent Boss Lift, bosses saw the Kentucky National Guard's artillery men and women shoot both howitzers and HIMARS. The same men and women who are counted upon in their civilian jobs also have demanding posts in the Army, requiring the same leadership, accountability and dependability skills in both.
Check out this HIMARS unit. KABOOM!
