	MORTAR: 60MM
		While the M224 replaced the older M2 and M19 60mm Mortars, the M224 was designed to fire all types of the older ammunition until stocks are exhausted.
		The M224 system consists of the M25 Cannon (tube), M170 Bipod, M7 Baseplate for conventional mode firing or M8 Baseplate for hand-held mode firing, and the M64A1 Sight Unit (also used by the M252 81 mm mortar).
		The first U.S. light mortar was the 60 mm M2, produced during World War II as a scaled down 81 mm mortar.

	M224 60mm Light Mortar
		Standard A ammunition for the M2 and M19 mortars is standard B for the M224 mortar.
		The M224 60mm mortar is a muzzle-loaded, smooth-bore, high-angle-of-fire weapon.
		The short minimum range of the M224 makes the mortar well suited for close protective fires against an assaulting enemy, for block-to-block fighting in cities, and combat over close terrain with restricted visibility.

		Israel purchased M3 halftracks (and other halftraks as M2) from Europe, US and UK, after the M3 halftracks used in WW2 as the Sherman tanks.

	FM 23-91 Appendix C Field-Expedient Survey Techniques
		The "circle" man directs the "post" man to move toward the desired mortar position until he is within 290 meters and to place the post into the ground.
		While the "circle" man is measuring the grids azimuth, an assistant (the "post" man) moves toward the desired mortar position with the two aiming posts.
		To begin the hasty survey, set the M2 aiming circle over the known point, level it, index the declination constant using the azimuth micrometer knob, and, with the nonrecording (lower) motion, orient the magnetic needle toward north.

	M21
		The Mortar when fired from within the M21 also had a traversing capability of +/- 30° whereas in the M4 series, the weapon's traverse was limited to the minimal traversing gear mounted on the weapon itself.
		Reinforced flooring on the M21 to accommodate the constant recoil forces of the mortar that permitted sustained main weapon firing from within the vehicle.
		The contract to produce the M21 MMC continued until March 1944 when production was terminated due to the sufficient numbers of M4 MMC (572 vehicles) and M4A1 MMC (600 vehicles) already in service (both being based on the M2 Half-Track) at that late stage of World War II.

	M2 Heavy Barrel.50-caliber Air-Cooled Heavy Machine Gun
		Again, these capabilities make it ideal for quick reaction against machine gun and mortar positions on heights overlooking road communications.
		Against massed infantry attack over ground with relatively constant slope, as against the Chinese human wave assaults on our MLR such as at Vegas, the M2 is a truly terrible force.
		The.50 caliber machine gun is primarily an anti-vehicular weapon.
