And at the same time say hello to the LAV-6 family. Out with the old, and in with the new. We can't keep it all, even if it does have some use.
It was only a few years ago (2013 I think?) that the M19 60mm mortar was phased out, despite the troops like for the weapon and the fact that they proved useful in the hills of Afghanistan. It was much easier to hump the 60 than something like the 81mm.
I believe the 40mm grenade launcher replaced it. They may not be identical weapons, but you just can't keep them all.
