The Virginia Army National Guard recently conducted an extremely unusual artillery exercise involving firing a 105mm M119 howitzer from on board a U.S. Army Vietnam-era LCM-8 landing craft, Joseph Trevithick reports on The Drive. The combination effectively provides a mobile fire support system for amphibious operations and during missions in riverine and other littoral environments.
