[1][2] The battalion's main weapons are K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers and NASAMS III air-defence system.

During its stay in Germany, the Battery Olga adopted a wild boar piglet that had lost its parents to poachers.

At the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, numerous units in the Army were disbanded from 1995 onwards.

In the early stages of the 2000s, the battalion was quite reduced in terms of personnel size and equipment level.

The new piglet was named Corporal Oscar II, inheriting the rank of its predecessor and also enjoying the mandatory salutes of soldiers serving in the battery.

Soldiers who have completed their initial service here can apply to Battery Petter, which is a fully professionalised unit with enlisted personnel.

They provide the gun batteries with the resources they need to fight (ammunition, distance, elevation and weather data and security).

The rangers move in forward positions and conduct surveillance and target acquisition mission, providing joint tactical air co-ordination.
