Australia receives a second HIMARS tranche two years early.

Australia's government said the Army received its second tranche of High Mobility Artillery Rocket System launchers from the United States two years ahead of schedule. The systems join the 10th Fires Brigade in Adelaide, with plans calling for up to 90 launchers across two long-range fires regiments.

The government says it is investing up to A$37 billion in long-range strike capabilities and up to A$36 billion over a decade in its Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise. GMLRS production has begun in Australia, and a bilateral program lays groundwork for possible future Precision Strike Missile co-production.
