New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[stanc]

Even though Joes still have to patrol on foot, they generally get in and out mounted, and having those mounted vehicles available allows a lot more hurt, IF the brass allow them to actually have the weapons that they need. a small 60mm mortar would seem ideal, and I wonder what the outcome in Ganjigal would have been if they had been available.

USMC (and US Army) units do use 60mm mortars in Afghanistan.

4:50-6:30 The long time of flight that Michael mentions is readily apparent.
