Description: Original caption: "Spanish Army M109A5 155mm Self-propelled Howitzer comes ashore at El Omayed, Egypt as US, Spanish and Egyptian Forces conduct amphibious operations, during Exercise BRIGHT STAR 01/02. BRIGHT STAR 01/02 is a multinational exercise involving more than 74,000 troops from 44 countries that enhances regional stability and military-to-military cooperation among our key allies, and our regional partners. It prepares US Central Command to rapidly deploy and employ the forces needed to deter aggressors and, if necessary, fight and win side-by-side with our allies and regional partners." NOTE: Despite the original caption, this M109A2 is from the Naval Infantry (Infantería de Marina), not the Army.
