THat's an interesting rule and concept ... We did have small 4 wheeled cargo carriers called M274 Mules, left over from Vietnam. When I first got to the 101 in '80. And they were used to haul our company 81mm mortars too.  So there is a precedent for something like this.  However by '81-'82 the were all out of service. Didn't hold up to air drops well either ...   And IIRC the USMC in RVN mounted a 106mm RR on the M274 or  something like it ...  So this sort of thing is not unheard of, but AFAIK there has nothing like this in the US inventory since the early '80s.

ohh yes there is the marines have just adopted a self propelled 120mm autoloading mortar with a lot of fancy  thing so what the front-man sees the mortar hits and the is a new version of the mule there is completely autonomous and can climb just about any thin check future weapons s3 and 2 on discovery channel
