A video of Canadian artillery soldiers firing a howitzer in Afghanistan. Notice how the artillery officer (The guy with the beard) is a french canadian but he is giving his orders mainly in english. This is a good example of how all the communication in the Afghanistan mission is done in english. Also, notice when they are prepping the shells, they are using smoke projectiles. Video obtained from Combat Camera.
