Its air-transportable carriage, nine-person crew, and 22-30 km range made it a standard U.S. Army and Marine Corps fire-support weapon before the lighter M777 replaced it in U.S. service. In the 2013-2017 Iraq war archive, the directly sourced use centers on Islamic State capture of Iraqi M198s in 2014 and reported firing of a captured gun.
