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.

  • Met de reorganisatie van Defensie van 2009 werden alle artillerie-eenheden van het Belgisch leger afgeschaft, op een na. De enige overblijvende eenheid ontstond door de samensmelting van het 2de Regiment Veldartillerie (2A, die op haar beurt enkele jaren voordien de Batterij Veldartillerie Para Commando had geïntegreerd), het 14de Regiment Luchtdoelartillerie (14A) en het Departement Artillerie (traditiedrager van het 6de Artillerie). De nieuwe eenheid is operationeel sinds juli 2010. Ze werd omgedoopt tot Bataljon Artillerie en adopteerde het vaandel van het 2de Regiment Veldartillerie. (nl)

  • 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. (en)
  • Met de reorganisatie van Defensie van 2009 werden alle artillerie-eenheden van het Belgisch leger afgeschaft, op een na. De enige overblijvende eenheid ontstond door de samensmelting van het 2de Regiment Veldartillerie (2A, die op haar beurt enkele jaren voordien de Batterij Veldartillerie Para Commando had geïntegreerd), het 14de Regiment Luchtdoelartillerie (14A) en het Departement Artillerie (traditiedrager van het 6de Artillerie). De nieuwe eenheid is operationeel sinds juli 2010. Ze werd omgedoopt tot Bataljon Artillerie en adopteerde het vaandel van het 2de Regiment Veldartillerie. Het Bataljon Artillerie is vandaag actief op twee plateaus: De hoofdgroep is gekazerneerd in het Kwartier West in Brasschaat, dat al sinds 1820 een vooraanstaande rol speelt in de rijke geschiedenis van de (Belgische)artillerie en dat decennialang onderdak bood aan o.a. het 6e Bataljon Artillerie en de Artillerieschool, onder tal van diverse benamingen. De mascotte van de hoofdgroep is een bok en de stad Lier is sinds 2011 peterstad voor het 2de artillerie, nadat het sinds 1962 al peterstad was van het tweede bataljon artillerie. De stad Lier schenkt, als peterstad, telkens een nieuwe bok bij overlijden van de vorige bok. Daarnaast is er het Kamp van Lombardsijde, dat traditioneel de thuisbasis vormde voor het 14e Regiment Luchtdoelartillerie en de Luchtdoelartillerieschool. (nl)
