When first deployed with the U.S. Army, the MLRS was used in a composite battalion consisting of two batteries of traditional artillery (howitzers) and one battery of MLRS SPLLs (self-propelled loader/launchers).
När de först togs i bruk användes MLRS i blandade bataljoner som bestod av 2 batterier traditionellt artilleri (haubitsar) och ett batteri MLRS SPLL (self-propelled loader/launchers).
