Here's a Perun vid that discusses long range vid. Its 1 hour long but a great watch.
The short answer is no. They U.S. relies on the Air Force for long range missiles bombing. The Army only has access really to HIMARS, M270, and ATACMS which is only good for about 300 miles (and there isn't a lot of them). The Chinese and Russians have much longer ranges because they didn't abide by the INF Treaty that eliminated missiles from 500 to 5000 kilometers.
Now that the treaty no longer exists the Army is trying to fast track a new missile system. They are getting some pushback from the Air Force though.
Going to be a while before something is available for countries to buy/develop something better. We've also has some costly failures as well.
For now HIMARS M270and the German PZH2000 are doing the work.
