Introduction to 20th Field Regiment, RCA

Field Artillery is one of the combat arms. Along with Armour, Infantry and Field Engineer units, the Artillery forms the Combat Arms team that fights the enemy. The Artillery contribution to this team is the firepower of the 105mm howitzer, which assists the other arms in their task of closing with and destroying the enemy.

The Regiment achieves its aim by conducting live fire exercises at CFB Wainwright up to 5 times a year and by conducting "Regimental School" every year in which it runs trade specific courses including QL3 Basic Artilleryman, Artillery Comms, Basic Artillery and Forward Observer Technician courses.

The Regiment is also tasked to support domestic operations such as Remembrance Day, Victoria Day, and Canada Day salutes
