US Edition25th Infantry Division Begins Fielding HIMARS Launchers in Hawaii
HAWAII, JUL 19 – The 25th Infantry Division will receive 16 HIMARS launchers this summer, reducing personnel by 119 and enhancing long-range precision fires to counter Pacific threats, officials said.
- This past week, the 25th Infantry Division began the six-week process replacing eight 105mm and six 155mm howitzers with 16 HIMARS launchers at Schofield Barracks.
- As part of the Army Transformation Initiative, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll wrote in a May 1, 2025 letter, prompting the 25th Infantry Division to replace artillery with HIMARS.
- In preparation for HIMARS fielding, cannon crew members began a three-week rocket artillery training course, officials said.
- The smaller HIMARS footprint, estimated by Gen. Marcus Evans, creates increased survivability and reduces 119 soldiers, Evans said.
- To prepare for potential conflict, Army Pacific is prioritizing mobility and stealth while HIMARS can strike up to 186 miles and could reach 300 miles with Precision Strike Missile development.
