4 Artillery Brigade (pronounced as Four Artillery Brigade) and colloquially known as "Gunners", is the artillery arm of the Namibian Army based at Otjiwarongo.[1] It functions as the Army's artillery Formation and hosts all the Artillery regiments of the Army.

History

The brigade was formed in 1999. It is the controlling entity of all artillery units in the Army. Shortly after its formation the Brigade received G2 towed artillery from South Africa. The prefix "4" is taken from 4 May 1978, the date on which the SADF attacked a SWAPO refugee camp in Cassinga.
