The 24th MEU will use these mortarmen in support of BLT 1/9 in hostile areas to neutralize threats by conducting similar fire missions should the need arise while they are on their upcoming deployment.

Man I hated humping those freaking things, wasn't even a '41 and still got caught hauling them. I even carried 2 for about 3 clicks one night because nobody else would step up and take one that our gunny got from a motorman that twisted his ankle.

Cool pic though.
