It saw service with the US Army during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, before being replaced by the M198 howitzer. The gun was used by the armed forces of many nations, including Afghanistan, Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Ecuador, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Jordan, South Korea, Lebanon, Libya, Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Yugoslavia.
