The howitzer provides direct and indirect fire support to the forces deployed in combined arms operations. BTW, we had some sharp operators of remotely controlled targets on a couple ranges that learned to pull the same stunt (escaping targets) with the original and improved TOW missiles by rapidly changing speeds or stopping in the last few seconds before the missile closed on target, when the TOW gunner didnt have time left to adjust sighting within the missiles flight parameters.
