After 30 minutes of air attack the pack howitzers of 1/10 opened up on the Japanese positions.

During this period, the Army received thirty-eight 75mm pack howitzers, and deployed some of these guns to New Guinea.

At that time, each battery consisted of 4 x 105mm pack howitzers (Italian Mountain Gun) and manned with approximately 65 men.

In 1965 a General Staff Requirement was approved for a new 105 mm weapon system because the pack howitzer "lacked range and lethality".

At this time, the regiment was equipped with the 105mm pack howitzer (towed by Landrover) and served in the light airborne role.

Here they render an artillery salute from its Firing Battery of 75mm pack howitzers.

The American paratroopers had only one little 57-mm antitank gun, six bazookas, and the ultralight airborne 75-mm pack howitzer for artillery.

The defenders of Biazza Ridge managed to capture two 75-mm pack howitzers, which they turned into direct fire weapons to defend the ridge.

To support an independent role the brigade was assigned its own artillery with nine 6-pounder anti-tank guns and eight 75mm pack howitzers.

Being a pack howitzer, it is designed to be broken down into 12 parts, each of which can be easily transported.
