The Lebanese Army is expected to receive 24x M109A5 self-propelled Howitzers along to 10x M992 Field Artillery Ammunition Support Vehicle as part of DSCA Excess Defense Articles (EDA).
DSCA was granted authority in April 2016 for these equipment whose current value is around USD2.2 million.
It is the first time Lebanon operates both vehicles/variants and this comes as Lebanon's fire power capability continues to grow amid growing threats on the borders with Syria.
The LAF received 12x M109A2 back in 2015 through transfer from Jordan.
