The M109 is used by militaries all over the globe. The current model in use with the United States armed forces is the M109A6 (nicknamed the Paladin) which features improved targeting systems and communications equipment. The newest M109A7 is a massive upgrade that may as well be a new vehicle entirely. The A7 unit has an autoloader and can fire a steady barrage of one round a minute continuously until dry, a huge speed increase compared to the M109A6 which could initially crank out up to 6 rounds in the first minute but would quickly slow as the loader team tired. While other European countries have typically adopted the PzH 2000 as their modern replacement, the similarities belies the M109's influence. The M109 remains the US's standard self-propelled howitzer, having survived two canceled replacements (the Crusader and the NLOS Cannon) and a proposal to import or license the PzH 2000. Its currently proposed replacement is the M1299 which might arrive in 2024. Maybe.

The M109 is currently in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, donated by various NATO states.
