Fuchs can correct me, but if I rembember correctly in German paratrooper batallion 1 120 mm mortar team has 2 MB jeeps with (50 mortar shells).

I can just speculte that in IED-intensive world those crews are real magnets and top target lists.
Is it just me who thinks that the vehicle/trailer combo is faced wrongly? The vehicle should be able to move out without much trouble, so it should face towards the rear ramp when in the V-22 body.

The German mountain and airborne infantry use Wolf 4wd vehicles (Mercedes G Wagon) (0.75t class iirc) for their 120mm mortars; a known deficiency. A LRIP of 120mm Wiesel 2 is expected for the next few years. I'm not sure about the supply part in the Wiesel2 mortar concept; likely Wolf.
