Regarding the CBS report they did not realize that the vehicle, just like the HMMWV, is not intended to be combat vehicle. Its a prime mover vehicle as configured to tow the mortar. When you think about it, its just a mortar and a small towing vehicle! Hopefully the program will work cause the Marines need some type of fire support between the 81mm's and the M777.
