Ahhhh… A MAN’S howitzer. Was FDO in an M109A3 (many were rebuilt M109A1s with the M185 tube replacing the short M126). Loved them. The Marine Corps should have kept them, as they are truly a decisive weapon in a fast-moving fight.
(Was also XO of an 8″ battery of M110A2s, which tips my advanced age…)

Heh, to what LT Rusty said.
The Army sent pretty much every M110A2 in the inventory to Desert Storm. There were quite a few battalions, IIRC. But they were quickly replaced in the DivArty and CorpArty role by the MLRS.
They were highly prized for their accuracy.
