French Caesar regiment disperses into two-gun sections with decoy/support cell

France’s 68th African Artillery Regiment is reorganizing Caesar howitzer batteries from two four-gun sections into three two-gun sections to improve survivability under drone observation and counter-battery fire while using Atlas FCS to still mass fires. It is also creating a dedicated artillery-support section to pre-survey firing positions, emplace decoys, preposition ammo, and use protective metallic cages/"opacity bubbles" to reduce detection and speed displacement.
