Your artillery is a bit off. The standard caliber for the US Army is 155mm. These guns outnumber the 105mm at least 5 to 1. If your unit is an Air Calvary unit, you might have an "Air Mobile" Artillery Battalion. Otherwise your looking at a Towed or Mechanized Battalion consisting of 1 Headquarters Battery (Companies are called Batteries in the Field Artillery), 1 Maintenance/Support Battery, and 3 Gun Batteries.
Each Gun Battery is 8 guns broken into Two 4 gun "Platoons" (sometimes nicknamed "Smokes") with a Maintenance "Platoon" and a HQ/Fire Direction "Platoon." The Composition of a Battery is as follows;
Towed: 8 M198 Towed Howitzers (M114's in National Guard Units) with 5-Tons as Prime Movers and M977 HEMTT's as Ammo Carriers. 2 Fire Direction Humvee's, 1 Command Humvee, 1 NBC Humvee, and a couple of 5-tons (maintenance).
SP: 8 M109 SP's, 8 M992 FAASV's, 1 M577A1 Fire Direction Track, 1 Humvee (command), 1 NBC Track (M113), 1 Recovery Vehicle, 2 5-Tons.
Light Infantry/Air Mobile: 8 105mm Towed Howitzers with Humvee Prime Movers and Ammo Carriers (air Mobile) or 5-Tons (Light Infantry), 1 Humvee (Command), 2 Humvee's (Fire Direction), 2 5-tons (Maintenance).
This is of course a "Prewar" TO&E. After the Nukes fall; All bets are off.
