What types of self propelled guns does the U. S. have in its inventory at this time. I was wondering what types of kits might be avalible, also.

Only one in Active and National Guard service is the M109A6 Paladin. Not SP Guns, but the M270 MLRS and the truck mounted version, HIMARS are the only other SP systems currently used by US forces.

M109A6 Paladin is available from Italeri.

M270 MLRS is made by DML.

No model of the HIMARS out there.

I appreciate it. I wasn't sure what term to use when I asked the question, but your answer is just what I was looking for, thanks again.

There are some of the older M109 series howitzers still in service. Many of the National Guard units still have M109A5 and M109A4 howitzers.

1-125 FA still uses the M109A5. A quick search of other Army National Guard mechanized divisions will find other units with older equipment.

Here's another one that may be coming to a field artillery unit near you: Non-Line of Site cannon (NLOS).

Hey Sabot, thanks for noticing my old NG arty unit!

Yeah, the MN Guard had the M110A2 8 inch up until 1996, they retired the last of the M110 series in the US Military. Replaced them with M198 towed 155mm (transition pieces yes, but come on...)

Those M109A5's have a very amusing past as well.

We picked those pieces up in the summer of 1996 from the 24th ID stocks that came back from Saudi Arabia via Texas. Those vehicles were in HORRIBLE shape. The maintenance guys told us it took 3 vehicles to make one good one, they were in such worn out shape. I got to be REAL familiar with them as I had just become a 64D, tracked vehicle recovery specialiat, and had to recover these nasty beasties in all kinds of crazy places and times. However, I not only got a good amount of experience recovering the the M109's and M548's we also got in terrible shape, but the crew I was training in also got a very nice training experience.
