U.S. Army artillerymen assigned 1st Battalion, 134th Field
Artillery Regiment, conduct direct fire operations of the
M119A3 Howitzer during Operation Northern Strike 2022
(ONS22) at Camp
Grayling, Michigan. Participants of Northern
Strike operate in a multi-domain, combined joint environment
to improve their Joint All-Domain Command and control
capabilities by integrating legacy and modern equipment with
future innovation.
The M119A3 howitzer is an advanced version with a digital
fire control system that allows soldiers to initiate firing
and avoid return fire quicker. It is equipped with a
GPS-aided inertial navigation unit (INU). The howitzer is
also installed with guided-precision system technology which
allows it to discover its own geographical location.
