Because the OV-10 is one of the best light attack and close air support aircraft ever built. It was designed to fly from primitive forward bases and it has a long loiter time over the battle area. The Afghan AF is getting 20 Embraer 314 Super Tucano single engine turbo props light attack planes, but the OV-10 is superior thanks to its twin engines, weapons, and avionics.

Because it was one of the only times the close air support community actually got a real say in how a plane should be designed.
