In particular, the US Marines still use towed artillery instead of self-propelled artillery, as do light infantry formations, the 82nd Airborne, the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and the 101st Air Assault Division. I don't know if it's still true, but when I was in the National Guard (1983-86), they still used substantial amounts of towed artillery. In the Marines and Army, however, most of the 105mm guns have been replaced by the M-777 light 155mm gun (actually a British design adopted by the US).
