Work on developing a new field howitzer for the Japanese Army began in 1920 and continued for over a decade.

It quickly became clear the gun fire from the warships, heavy artillery and field howitzers including the gas shells had not silenced the defenders' artillery.

The FH-70 (field howitzer for the 1970s) is a towed howitzer in use with several nations.

A field howitzer is a howitzer that is mobile enough to accompany a field army on campaign.

Nonetheless it was the standard field howitzer for the Austrian Army upon the outbreak of the war.

Down at the river, in plain sight, moved a small convoy of field howitzers.

According to the final accounting, at the time of the surrender, the battery was armed with two 12-pounder field howitzers and two 6-pounder guns.

One hundred and thirty-seven men of various ranks manned two 12-pound field howitzers and four 20-pound Parrott rifles.

EFCs were a measure of a gun's probable life span; a field howitzer was worn out after about fifteen thousand.

The artillery capabilities were greatly increased in 2008 with the purchase of 122mm field howitzers from Finland.
