I am flattered, but others could answer as well. The US Army and USMC do/did use them extensively. The M777 is replacing them now. I am not sure how far the feilding is along though.

The M777 is currently in use at Ft. Bragg and Ft. Carson.
I haven't seen them at Ft. Lewis, but didn't really have a chance to get out and look.

A look in my book... yes they use the M-198 howitzer.
Wikipedia says this:
Used by: U.S. Army, USMC, Australian Army, Royal Thai Army, Lebanese Army
