FIRE MISSION! is a historical record and
personal insight of the 213th Field Artillery
Battalion during the Korean War. With over
sixty interviews from former members, the pages
come alive with personal memories about a
unique time in our history. The number of
allied lives saved, and the amount of enemy
destruction wrought by this unit is almost
incalculable.

With the motto Confidence in Calibre, the
213th set the standard for artillery in Korea,
firing over 10,986 Tons of artillery shells at
the enemy in 893 days of combat. From when the
213th was a National Guard unit in 1950 to the
final climactic battles of June and July 1953,
the record of the 213th stands heads above the
rest.

This unit history is written not only from a
large scale, unit type perspective, but it also
shows the personal side of the war from the
perspective of the everyday life and hazards of
the artilleryman. Read how the 213th played a
major role in such battles as The Kapyong
Perimeter, White Horse Mountain, and Outpost
Harry, and many smaller incidents that occurred
weekly that history and time have almost
forgotten.
