The M224 mortar fires 60mm projectiles manually, using preset calculations for distance and direction. After the first impact, Taliban fighters begin firing wildly at the position allowing the U.S. forces to pinpoint their exact location

Every infantry squad that occupies LP/OP's should have these by default, without the need to attach extra mortarmen to the unit. Very effective piece of kit for this region and mars like terrain. Would love to see the spotters view while the rounds were impacting down range.
