Artilleribataljonen (Artillery Battalion) comprises the complete artillery force of Norway, numbering some 550 soldiers and officers and 12 M 109 A3GN self-propelled howitzers. In 2000 the army acquired 32 MLRS trucks to let the battalion meet the new millennium and an MLRS Battery of 100 men and 12 trucks was set up. Only five years later; however, the army pulled the plug and stopped buying ammunition. As a consequence, the unit was disbanded and the trucks are now in storage. Forsvarsstudie 07 (Defence Study 07) proposed to reintroduce the system, but it is as yet unknown whether the army will do so.
