A long-serving artillery piece that’s been integral to additional firepower for infantry brigades is getting a closer look at how to make it more mobile for more effective fires, especially in Europe.

Work is underway to have a vehicle-mounted 105mm M119 Howitzer in the Army’s infantry brigade combat teams.

Recent artillery demonstrations during the Maneuver and Fires Integration Experiment at Fort Sill, Oklahoma caught the attention of the House Armed Services Committee’s subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces.

HUH? I remember seeing 105's mounted in jeeps in VN.

Or was this just a SF thing,and the professional cannon-cockers have "cannon blocked" the non-Red leg Army?
