00:00.495 --> 00:01.328
- Hang it!

00:03.439 --> 00:04.741
Pull!

00:04.741 --> 00:06.566
(explosion)

00:06.566 --> 00:07.399
Hang it!

00:10.579 --> 00:11.822
- Careful...
- Pull!

00:11.822 --> 00:13.254
(explosion)

00:13.254 --> 00:14.160
- Watch out.

00:14.160 --> 00:17.140
- Out here you have the mortars
from all the line companies.

00:17.140 --> 00:19.420
Able Company, Battle
Company, Chosen Company

00:19.420 --> 00:22.240
and then we have the HAC mortars as well.

00:22.240 --> 00:23.660
So, we go all the systems out here

00:23.660 --> 00:25.957
from 16 millimeter, 81 millimeter

00:25.957 --> 00:27.280
and the 120 millimeter mortars.

00:27.280 --> 00:29.250
We're gonna shoot our MorTEP

00:29.250 --> 00:30.398
so we already started

00:30.398 --> 00:31.411
(explosion)

00:31.411 --> 00:32.610
a day ago yesterday.

00:32.610 --> 00:35.030
And, we started our Table V and Table VI,

00:35.030 --> 00:37.030
so what you have out here
right now shooting behind me

00:37.030 --> 00:39.140
is the 81 millimeter mortars.

00:39.140 --> 00:41.543
Tonight, this is gonna run
through all the way past

00:41.543 --> 00:43.710
to about 23:00,

00:43.710 --> 00:45.752
so we started our daytime iterations

00:45.752 --> 00:48.380
that's gonna have your basic missions

00:48.380 --> 00:51.000
so they go all the way from
your mark center sector

00:51.000 --> 00:54.890
to your grid mission, shift,
polar and then later tonight

00:54.890 --> 00:56.535
we're gonna be shooting our illumination.

00:56.535 --> 00:57.368
(explosion)

00:57.368 --> 00:58.910
This benefits the brigade
on multiple levels.

00:58.910 --> 01:00.810
You have all your systems
from the 60 millimeter,

01:00.810 --> 01:03.410
the 81 millimeter and the
120 millimeter mortar.

01:03.410 --> 01:05.610
You got your gunner,
your assistant gunner,

01:05.610 --> 01:09.220
and your ammo bearer as well
as your fire direction control.

01:09.220 --> 01:10.790
So, your fire direction chief is the guy

01:10.790 --> 01:12.470
who's pretty much processing the mission

01:12.470 --> 01:14.930
with the forward observer on the Comm's.

01:14.930 --> 01:17.510
And then, from there, you're
gonna process your mission

01:17.510 --> 01:19.880
with LHMBC which is our computer system

01:19.880 --> 01:23.050
that processes the fire
mission or your plotting board.

01:23.050 --> 01:24.170
There's two different ways

01:24.170 --> 01:27.170
that you can process fire
missions as fire direction chief.

01:27.170 --> 01:30.160
So, we're perfecting our
craft on multiple levels.

01:30.160 --> 01:32.140
As mortar men we are
indirect fire infantry men

01:32.140 --> 01:34.813
so we're here always ready to
support our brothers up front.
