The brass forgot this, and largely denied it during Shinseki's run in slot.
The policy of gutting artillery instituted under Shinseki somewhat continued after his retirement.
Slashing several artillery units out of existence pretty much shot ourselves in the foot.
Looks like someone somewhere figured it out.

Yep. That, or someone figured that a towed 105 can reach a lot further than a RPG-7, and they remember the story of Labalaba at Mirbat. You figure that Disney Alamo movie might have something to do with it?

Possibly.
Either that or they've been paying attention to some of the conversation here.
