Ranger Fire Support System 120 mm Mortar

Note:  Well ain't this a kick in the teeth.  The US Army Rangers are about to get a capable, proven, highly mobile, off the shelf, internally transportable (in a MV-22) mortar carrier and ammunition vehicle at a fraction of the cost of the US Marine Corps EFSS(Expeditionary Fire Support System).  Oh and it does away with the need to tow it which means that they'll have even greater off road mobility.  Nicely done.
