==Description==
Traditional [[Field Artillery|field artillery]] exists even in the [[thirty-first century]], including those towed into battle by mechanized infantry. The [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] makes use of tube artillery to great effect against their enemies, especially platoons of the [[71st Mechanized Infantry]], [[2nd Sword of Light]].  Forgoing the use of [[battle armor]], these conventional infantry utilize their artillery to great effect, showcasing the continued use of conventional infantry on the modern battlefield.<ref name=TR85>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 195: "House Kurita Infantry Profile"</ref>

==Armament==
The primary armament of each soldier is a [[TK Assault Rifle]], while [[Autocannon (Semi-Portable)(Support Weapon)|Semi-Portable Autocannons]] provide supporting fire.  However, the highlight of the unit is its [[Thumper Artillery Piece]], supplied with 20 rounds of ammunition, which allows the platoon to hit above its weight.<ref name=TR85 />
