It was designed to provide long-range fire support for ground forces, with a maximum range of 32 km. The M107 was based on the chassis of the M110 howitzer, but mounted a 175 mm gun instead of a 203 mm howitzer. The M107 had a crew of five and could fire up to two rounds per minute. The M107 was deployed in Vietnam from 1966 to 1972, where it was used to bombard enemy positions and supply routes. The M107 was also stationed in Europe and Korea as part of NATO and USFK forces. The M107 was retired from service in the late 1970s and replaced by the M198 towed howitzer.
