A Germany-based artillery brigade is now the first Army unit fully equipped with the service\u2019s next-generation Multiple Launch Rocket System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In November, soldiers with the 41st Field Artillery Brigade in Grafenwoehr, Germany, completed the replacement of their legacy M270A1 MLRS platforms with the A2 variant, according to an Army release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe major difference we have seen with the M270A2 is that they are a little bit faster and more mobile,\u201d said Capt. Kendal Peter, commander of Charlie Battery, 1st Battalion, 77th Field Artillery Regiment, 41st FA Brigade. \u201cThey have an improved cab that protects the soldiers which the M270A1 did not have, as well as a myriad of system upgrades that allow us to shoot faster and process missions more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
