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. Designed by Tim Adcock |
