Soldiers in the Arkansas National Guard fired newly issued M777A2 towed 155 mm howitzers during a live fire training exercise at Fort Chaffee Joint Maneuver Training Center, near Barling, Arkansas, 28 July. The howitzers were fielded to the newest formed unit in the state of Arkansas. Charlie Battery "Cold Steel", 1st Battalion, 206th Field Artillery Regiment, 39th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is headquartered in Booneville, Arkansas. This is the first time in history that the M777A2 howitzer has been issued to the Arkansas National Guard. Charlie battery was specifically formed just to receive these new artillery pieces and they have been tasked with the responsibility of handling and maintaining the newly fielded howitzers. The M777A2s are commonly referred to as "Triple 7s". The battery was issued the weapons on 16 July, 2018.
