Nope.
M109A6 Paladin.
Anything bigger than 155mm was removed from inventory and replaced with MLRS.
(Apparently)

Actually, using MLRS above 155mm was a wise choice.
Much more yield and longer range.
For close up and personal support, where precision is required, there is nothing better than a M109 self-propelled howitzer with modern electronics.

You are correct on the M110. Here in Oklahoma there are several fine examples decorating city parks, VFW & American Legion hall parking lots, etc. Most came from Ft. Sill -- I recognize most of the unit designations stencilled on them.
BTW, EOD, it is Wiesbaden and the Baader-Meinhof/Red Army Faction made its bombing attempt on the Wiesbaden Community Center, about a block away from the Kurhaus/Casino in downtown Wiesbaden. This was about 1979, IIRC.
