M198 Howitzer has been operated by USMC and US Army in 1979 and almost 1600 unit  has produced. Most 10 country operated this howitzer in their artillery team with the australia is second larger operator after United States.

The service record of this howitzer never been doubt since it first operation in Gulf War until Iraqi Freedom 2003 and some record says it still served in Afganistan due to Taliban Insurgency. The M198 Howitzer is operated by 4 to 9 enlisted man and Fire range can achieved more than 22.4km to 30km max depend on what type of munition has been used during fire mission.
