    Recently, U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground hosted a test of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) Type-19 155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer that will replace the FH 70 towed 155 mm howitzer the country has used since the late 1970s. “The ammunition and charges we are using for this test are ones we cannot use within Japan, which is why we decided to conduct the test at YPG,” said Lt. Col. Akihito Baba, of the 6th Test Division Equipment Test and Evaluation Unit.
