What are we using for a mobile AT system today? Or have we gotten rid of that idea all together?

Leopard 2A6 / 2A4 & ADATS

Tongue planted halfway in cheek. Though they do say the best anti-tank system is another tank.

I wonder how hard it would be to slap a TOW on the side of a Coyote or LAV-III turret, like the Bradley or Desert Warrior?

So we order a whole hockey sock of these only to say that we are converting them to something else...what's wrong with this type of thinking????

email LGen Leslie, he might answer you!

Seriously, I think the reduction of the TUA was part of the "we've been in Afghanistan for 10 years...if we haven't deployed a particular piece of kit in all that time, then why is it still in inventory". At least LAV-TUA are new enough to be reconfigured.
