History


After the partition of former British Indian Army, the Royal Indian Artillery was split between the Indian Army and the Pakistan Army, which Pakistan renamed it as "Royal Pakistan Artillery" in 1947. In 1947, the Regiment inherited only eight regiments, one survey battery, an air observation post flight, and two formation headquarters.: 77  From 1947–56, the Pakistan Army was forced to keep the British Army officers to maintain administrative support of the Royal Pakistan Artillery despite British preference of the Indian Army.: 83 
In 1956, the artillery was reorganized as Regiment of Artillery with the field manuals being adopted from the United States Army's Field Artillery Branch through U.S. aid which allowed the army to be aligned on American training patterns. The Regiment of Artillery in the British lines were equipped with 24 guns held in three batteries, further divided into two troops of four guns each. The Pakistan Army adopted the U.S. Army system of 18 guns in each regiment, divided in three batteries of six guns each.
The education and training for the troops to be part of the Regiment of Artillery is offered by the School of Artillery which was established by the Pakistan Army in 1947 at Nowshera Cantonment. The Regiment of Artillery is commanded by the active-duty two-star, major-general, who serves its director-general, working directly under the Chief of the General Staff (CGS) at the Army GHQ in Rawalpindi, Punjab in Pakistan.
