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 In the Marines and Army, however, most of the 105mm guns have been replaced by the M-777 light 155mm gun (actually a British design adopted by the US).
Aahhhh. I remembered seeing them years ago, while I was in the Corps, but I haven't seen anything on them game wise or in the news so I thought they had been retired.
