Folks I don't think these men created this as a Mortar Emplacement 101 video. They seem to be covering the bases. Us that do this know what they're doing, those who don't do this ain't gonna learn from a 5 minute video. Damn.

I hope these Marines put that tube in action in much shorter time when needed. Seems like we are stepping back away from basic mortar training.
