The US loaned the Australian Army a battery of 6 M108 Self propelled howitzers for a little while in 1966-7, maybe 6-12 months. They equipped 6 Troop, A Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment, they were handed back and the Australian Army has never used SP artillery again.

WI the loan had been extended and Australia kept these M108s? The US was phasing out the M108 in favour of the M109 which used the same hull and turret, so maybe they just abandon or write off these M108s.
