The US 105mm Howitzer M2A1 (also known as the M101 after the war) represents the early production series of the M2A1 light howitzer, which became the primary artillery support unit for American infantry during World War II. It was used, among others, during the Normandy landings, in the North African campaigns, in Italy, and in the Pacific. After the war, the howitzer was utilized by allied armies, remaining in service even during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
