Organisation

From the Emergency (1939-1945), the Artillery Corps was organised into separate Coastal Defence, Field Artillery and Air Defence Regiments.[2][3][4] In the late 20th century, the Coastal Defence component was dissolved and integrated with the Field Artillery component.[5] In 2013 the Air Defence regiment also ceased to operate as a separate component,[6] and the Field Artillery regiments, known as Brigade Artillery Regiments, took over the Air Defence role.[6]

Today the Artillery Corps comprises the Artillery School, located in the Defence Forces Training Centre (DFTC) in the Curragh Camp, and two Brigade Artillery Regiments (one for each of the two Brigades of the army). They are located in Collins Barracks, Cork (1 BAR) and Custume Barracks, Athlone (2 BAR).[6][7][8]
