Someone mentioned in a previous thread about the MEU having a battery of six 155mm howitzers. Thought I would ask those more in the know, would not a MEU be better served by either 120mm mortars or 105mm howitzers (M119)? I would think the mobility of being carried internally by a CH-53E and being able to use a HMMMV as a prime mover would be more important for small scale MEU ops than the more powerful, but ponderous, 155mm. Also, can a V-22 carry either those two pieces internally?
Speaking of helicopters and artillery, had never heard of this before: a Chinook mounting two 105mm howitzers.
