Re: usmc error ?
You discovered one of those odd situations that happen in the USMC.
Formation# 107 Hv Mortar Co (01/46-12/57)
Formation# 119 Hv Mortar Bty (01/58-12/73)
Formation# 081 Hv Mortar Bty (01/09-12/20)
Yes, there are in fact no Hv Mortar formations between 1974-2008 (tho Hv mortar units do exist in the OOB).
This is because the USMC retired their Hv Mortars in 1974, tho they were kept around in the Artillery Regiment "just in case". Until the adoption of the Dragonfire in 2009 the USMC did not actively use any heavy mortars.
The units exist so scenario designers can use them during the 1974-2008 period if they are doing a "what if" scenario, but no formations exist to buy them.
Does this help explain what you're seeing?
