M109 Field Battery (TNBX02)
Includes three M109 self-propelled guns and two Unit cards.

The excellence of the M109 self-propelled howitzer is evidenced by the fact that it is used by every Western army on NATO’s Central Front apart from the French

Since its inception in 1949, NATO has been a community of free nations brought together with a common goal, to defend the freedom of Western Europe and North America. To do this Canada, France and the Netherlands deploy armoured and mechanised forces in West Germany

The Canadians began fielding the M109 self-propelled howitzer in 1968. The Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, which provided the artillery support for 4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, fielded four batteries of six M109.

Like many nations in NATO, the Royal Netherlands Army fields the American M109 self-propelled 155mm howitzer to provide their artillery support. A Veldartillerie Batterij (Field Artillery Battery) consists of a command group, six M109A2 or A3 self-propelled 155mm howitzers, and an ammunition group. In a war situation, a field artillery battalion, with three field batteries, is attached to each armoured infantry or armoured brigade.
