U.S. Army demonstrates extended ranges for precision munitions

The U.S. Army recently demonstrated extended ranges for the guided multiple launch rocket system, and two 155mm cannon artillery precision munitions.  Aligning with the Army's top priority -- Long-Range Precision Fires --- these changes support the force's need for both close and deep-strike capabilities against a near-peer adversary. Devon L. Suits, Army News Service, reports.
