Congratulations to the Irish 🇮🇪 Artillery Corps on their 100th anniversary 2 Brigade Artillery Regiment Óglaigh na hÉireann
Great shot of a round departing down range 💥 #Gunners 👇
Col John McCrann has concluded his time with Ireland at UN. Col McCrann's lengthy career in Óglaigh na hÉireann includes having served as OC 2 BAR from 2013 to 2015. We wish him the best in his future endeavours.
Happy St Barbara's Day to our gunner colleagues around the world.
'Barbara, Barbara, we may not lose a breath. Be at the bursting doors of doom and in the dark deliver us.'
In addition to #artillery Barbara is the patron Saint of Defence Forces Engineer Corps and Ordnance within the DF family.
2 BAR concluded our support to the #artillery corps OCC assessment this week, helping to ensure ongoing development of interoperability with our NATO international partners. Well done to our counterparts in 1 Brigade 🇮🇪 Defence Forces Arty Regt for their commitment throughout the last year.
Lt Col John Prendergast, OC 2 BAR, and BS Lloyd Murphy presented cheques for funds raised during our charity gun pull through the Midlands to the Irish Red Cross and to GOC 2 Bde on behalf of the Óglaigh na hÉireann Benevolent Fund. Delighted to be able to support two worthy causes.
Well done to our neighbours in Custume Barracks, 6 Infantry Battalion for their recent exercise. Maintenance of conventional capabilities is a vital element of our role in Óglaigh na hÉireann and reminds us all of our #lifelessordinary .
