By the way, the Marines have HIMARS and the US Army has the same M777. Same capabilities. Granted the Army has more of each. That’s why they can both provide precision fires.

I stand corrected. I wasn’t aware the Corps had fielded HIMARS. I knew the Army had tasked M270s to their use in Iraq in the mid-aughties (which was why I thought they had no organic MLRS) but I gather that was before the HIMARS was operational.

Thanks for the update!
