Soldiers fire Howitzer rounds from LCM-8 for first time since the Vietnam War
Soldiers from the Virginia Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery Regiment, prepare to fire a 105mm 1119 Howitzer on an Army Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM-8) Watercraft from 1098th Transportation Detachment, 11th Trans. Battalion, 7th Trans. Brigade (Expeditionary) in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, April 25, 2019. Adapting the 1119 Howitzer to be secured to the LCM took fabrication and ingenuity, due to the fact that this has not been done since the Vietnam War, so no modern doctrine exist.
