It was developed in the early 1960's as a lighter and more mobile alternative to the M101. It was widely employed by US forces during the later stages of the Vietnam war. The main focus of the M102 design was on light weight. As such the M102 uses an aluminum box chassis with two wheels.
M102 Route, Designed for easy transport by helicopters or light vehicles, the M102 105mm cannon first saw service in Southeast Asia with the U.S. Army in 1966. The M102's light weight made it well-suited for use on AC-130 gunships. First introduced during the Vietnam War, the M102 was the light-towed 105 mm howitzer used by the United States Army in the Vietnam War, the First Gulf War, and most recently in the Iraq War.
