With more and more units becoming foot mobile with a sprinkling of vehicles and livestock for the heavy equipment, I can definitely see mid range motars being exceptionally useful. They wouldn't want to be manpacked very far (a few kilometres would probably be far enough), but they do give a unit much needed supporting fire.
The big guns wouldn't be thrown away, however with the limited transportation options available in 2000, they would probably be restricted to defensive positions (cantonments) and along roadways and other transportation corridors (rivers and railways).
