This study was undertaken to determine if the US Army"s M119 Howitzer could be safely towed in the "firing" position using the existing A-Frame brace to support the gun tube during movement. A computer model of the howitzer was developed that would predict motions of the howitzer and consequently. loads . on critical components. The results obtained from this computer model were validated by comparing them to actual data obtained from an instrumented test done on the howitzer at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md. The validated model was used to predict the "worst case loads on the howitzer"s A-Frame and the T-Bar during movement in the firing" position. The maximum predicted stresses in the A-Frame and the T-Bar from the "worst case" loads were compared to the yield stress. These comparisons showed that the A-Frame and T-Bar were strong enough to withstand the "worst case" predicted loads that would be caused by towing the M119 Howitzer in the "firing" position

US field artillery fired M howitzer from landing craft in Operation Gator 30 APRIL The Virginia Army National Guard recently conducted an extremely unusual artillery exercise involving firing a mm M howitzer from on board a U.S. Army Vietnam-era LCM-8 landing craft, Joseph Trevithick reports on The Drive. (1) Functions. Responsible for reconnaissance, positioning and conduct of the firing battery. Commands, controls, and supervises the howitzer sections, fire direction center, and ammunition section. (2) Personnel requirements not covered by regulatory guidance: None.
Soldiers are one step closer to receiving a digitized MA2 howitzer that will make it possible for them to start firing rounds and evade return fire quicker. The MA2 is a lightweight mm howitzer that provides suppressive and protective fires for Infantry Brigade Combat Teams. PEO Ammunition employees, with help.

transportability guidance: transporting the howitzer, medium, towed: mm, m by air, highway, water and rail (nsn ) (this item is included on em ) SDDC TM A. DESCRIPTION: THE M HOWITZER IS A LIGHTWEIGHT MM TOWED WEAPON WITH THE FOLLOWING DIMENSIONS: LENGTH - (FOLDED POSITION) 16 FT (M), (WITH TUBE IN FIRING POSITION) 20 FT 9 IN.
(M) AND (WITH TUBE LOCKED IN CRADLE TRAVELING STAYS) 20 FT 2 IN (M); WIDTH - 5 FT 10 IN (M); HEIGHT. The M howitzer’s recoil system consists of a recoil brake (a damping system) and a hydropneumatic recuperator (a gas spring system). A recoil system’s main function is to absorb and control the rearward movement of the cannon and return it to its original firing position, thus avoiding violent shock to, or movement of, the carriage.

The primary tow vehicle for the howitzer is a special HUMMWV (model M), itself having a range of mi (km), or by helicopter, increasing the deployment range of the M to miles (km).
Along with firing the reliable mm shell, additional ammunition types are available (including all NATO-standard types). The howitzer has seen extensive use in the mountainous territory of Afghanistan, firing multiple-round, high-angle, high-charge missions daily in support of combat troops.
Continuous firing of high charges at high angle caused component damage, such as holes and cracks, on the lower carriage and baseplate of the MA3, eventually making these. ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Ill. (Sept. 9, ) -- More than two decades have passed since the first M howitzer rolled off the production line at Rock Island Arsenal.
