## Users

The AN/PRC-152 radio began production in 2005. Since then, over 100,000 have been provided to the US military. The PRC-152 has been notably used by Prince Harry during his service with the British Army, then a 23-year-old second lieutenant in the Household Cavalry. He was responsible for providing cover for troops on the frontline as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) employing the AN/PRC-152 and other systems.
Ukraine, as part of western military aid, began receiving Harris radios during the war in Donbas. This included the Harris RF-310M-HH, an export version of the PRC-152 without NSA Type 1 encryption.
