General notes

Live firings of 155mm munitions from German-designed PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzer were conducted by 14 Field Artillery Battalion of the Netherlands Armed Forces during April 2007. The purpose of the firings was to demonstrate the performance of extended range munitions over distances of up to 40 km, with the impact area being the Lake Hart Air Weapons Range. The PzH 2000 activities were supported by a Dutch team of 25 personnel together with staff from AOSG and the Army Proof and Experimental Establishment at Port Wakefield.
