US OOB 120mm mortar (single tube unit)
 
Just a minor suggestion:

US OBAT unit 518 (Single tube 120mm mortar) Currently has load cost of 108 (6 men, 2 "weight". If reduced to 4 man crew or 0 weight, it could be towed by HMMWV.

Formation 325 (Lt Cav Mtr Sec) has this setup, but they cannot carry the tubes. (3 HMMWV, 2 tubes). HMMWV + tube + 3-4 man crew is "standard" (is there such a thing? ) use by light units, Rangers, etc.

Just something to consider as well, the M1069 HMMWV (and subsequent "truck/cargo carrier" variants with the flat rear bed) were and are prime movers for the M167 VADS and M119 105mm LW howitzer.

Yeah but those are not the crew cab versions I suppose - correct me if I am wrong. Therefore they're just light trucks to me + to the game and not Humvees. If I want them to tow my howitzer then I buy a light truck.
If we talk about Humvees, I guess most of us got the version with the double crew cab + weapon mount on the roof hatch in mind - therefore, let's just keep things simple ;-)

Yeah, exactly. When the HMMWV was introduced there were about five basic variants (with assorted other more specialized versions), a weapons carrier (M966), a "crew" cab utility/scout vehicle (M998), a truck/cargo carrier/shelter carrier (M1069), and two types of ambulance. All the subsequent improvements have led to new versions of each, except for the Mini-Ambulance I think. I'd have to check some of my resources.

I actually utilized additional space in my Vietnam OOBs to "fix" the truck history, but there should still be room in the default to switch things around too.
