Self-Propelled Light Howitzer

Self-Propelled Light Howitzers are a type of artillery weapon that is mounted on a tracked vehicle. They are designed to provide mobile artillery support to ground forces in combat, assault, and tactical operations. These vehicles are classified under the supply class Combat, Assault, and Tactical Vehicles, which includes various types of military vehicles used for offensive and defensive purposes.

In terms of the supply group, Self-Propelled Light Howitzers fall under Ground Effect Vehicles, Motor Vehicles, Trailers, and Cycles. This group encompasses a wide range of vehicles, including ground-effect vehicles (such as hovercraft), motor vehicles (such as trucks and cars), trailers, and cycles (such as motorcycles and bicycles).

Self-Propelled Light Howitzers are specifically designed to be highly mobile and capable of quickly moving to different locations on the battlefield. They are equipped with a howitzer, which is a type of artillery gun that is capable of firing high-explosive shells at long distances. The self-propelled aspect of these vehicles means that they have their own propulsion system, allowing them to move independently without the need for external towing or transportation.

These vehicles are typically crewed by a small team of soldiers, including gunners, loaders, and vehicle operators. They are capable of firing a variety of ammunition types, including high-explosive rounds, smoke rounds, and illumination rounds, depending on the mission requirements.

Self-Propelled Light Howitzers play a crucial role in modern warfare, providing mobile and flexible artillery support to ground forces. Their ability to quickly deploy and engage targets makes them an essential asset in combat operations.
