M198 Howitzer

The M198 was an American towed 155mm howitzer developed to replace older medium-artillery equipment. Its comparatively deployable arrangement supported conventional formations and expeditionary requirements, with ammunition and fire-control systems shaping actual range and effects. It served in American and foreign forces before replacement by newer systems such as the M777 in many roles. The weapon is distinct from self-propelled artillery and from earlier 155mm guns whose similar caliber did not make them technically identical.

The towed weapon supplied American and allied formations with heavy artillery while remaining transportable by appropriate vehicles and helicopters. Later replacement by the lighter M777 reflected the continuing importance of deployment weight alongside range and firepower.
