Army's motarmen bring firepower to the infantry

Once, I saw mortars in action. The rounds were delivered about 2000yrds. I suppose, the mortars we're set up a bit further back and to my right. Not on line with Charlie Company and everyone else.
Tanks went off after the mortars. I hit the deck when the tank next to me fired. My GySgt came running up to me yelling to keep standing and not be a little girl. The tank went off again and I dove for the deck. Dam.
Anyway, I turned my weapons and ammo in for an ultrasound machine, gel, towels... I'm about to lay down some mortar fire on my civilian opposition. AKA, the enemy.
