Of (light) howitzers and (heavy) MOPP gear
Dig the CBW equipment and the 105mm.
Side note: can the M119 be used in direct-fire?
Members of the 101st Field Artillery, 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Mountain), Massachusetts National Guard, conduct live-fire artillery training with an M119A3 towed 105mm howitzer at Fort Drum, N.Y., June 12, during the unit’s annual training.
Of course, the cannon cocker without the gloves is running a blister risk in an actual NBC situation, but it is still a great pic
The howitzer pictures is not a M777, it is a M119. The M119 is a 105mm light howitzer. The M777 is a 155mm medium howitzer. Both of these weapon systems can be used in the direct fire role. The M109 Palidan self propelled 155mm howitzer can also be used in the direct fire role.
