There's two types: The SPG (Self Propelled Gun) and the split trail (towed field gun). Both were used extensively in Vietnam. Any website on artillery will show the two. If you want to see some photos of the 155mm field pieces in action, search for Firebase Vandergrift in 1971, during the Lam Son 719 operation (invasion of Laos).
Firebase Vandergrift (also called FSB for Fire Support Base) had a battery of 155mm field guns there (6 guns).
Post Vietnam US Army batteries contain 8 guns.
