This howitzer is a mobile, general purpose, towed field artillery weapon. The C2 is manually operated, single loaded, air cooled, and uses semi-fixed ammunition. It can be employed for direct or indirect fire and, in the latter case, is very effective against most types of ground targets. The C2 is towed by a truck that carries both the crew and ammunition.
