A Howitzer is a powerful, automatic loading artillery cannon. The current artillery in the USA military is the M109 Howitzer. It is mobile and can fire many, high explosive rounds at far away targets. Howitzers are generally used for support or to soften up an area before said area is invaded.
Before the massive assault on Fallujah during Operation Iraqi Freedom, starting in November of 2004, Howitzers fired many rounds at strategic targets to soften up the area, then fired during the invasion when soldiers needed support.

Get the Switzerland mug.A small land locked country in Central Europe surrounded by epic mountains and a bunch of countries who have done some crazy shit in the past, all of which Switzerland has refused to take part in. Switzerland has relatively high taxes, but because of this the government can afford to let everyone be parents for a couple of years whenever they have a baby, then when that baby is in high school the government pays for him to learn his way around an M-16. This is why nobody has ever had a beef with the Swiss, or if they did they sure kept quiet about it.
"Switzerland has always had a military draft-they have to, because they're surrounded by bastards." -Dr. John C. Freemuth
