The M1906 was the U.S. Army's standard medium field gun in 1917, with 60 in service. Production was increased when the U.S. entered WWI; the Northwest Ordinance Co. produced 98 more of them in Madison, WI during 1918. Once it was in France it was modified slightly to allow it to fire French 120mm artillery shells.
