G5 howitzer captured while conducting fire. The South African Army used a SAMIL 100 (6x6) truck chassis artillery tractor to tow the G5, which carried eight people (the howitzer was manned by five men). The truck carried 15 ammunition pallets on the hull, each weighing 189 kg. A hydraulic arm located in the rear of the tractor was used to handle them.

The G5 was first used in combat by the South African Army on 9 August 1986 during Operation Alpha Centauri, which lasted until 16 August 1986. One battery consisting of eight G5 howitzers was used along with one battery of rocket launchers. This operation was an artillery attack against Cuban and Angolan (FAPLA) combat formations concentrated in the Cuito Cuanavale area to attack the Angolan opposition group UNITA, which was secretly supported by South Africa.

G5 howitzer deployed in firing position. Since 1985, the G5 Mk 2 variant has been mass-produced, which differed from the original G5 Mk 1 in moving the driver's workplace more forward and in the design of the gearbox and drivetrain.

The G5 Mk 3 variant includes 35 modifications to increase reliability and combat potential. Improvements include the addition of the AS2000 shooting monitor, improved elements to increase the efficiency of the brake return system, larger diameter and width of auxiliary wheels specially designed for moving in the sand and the addition of the REUTECH ACV 58 communication system. batteries of six of these works took place in 1997. The modernization of the South African Army's G5 howitzers to this standard lasted until 2000.
