I'm with the other poster on this--MDCs and HELs have
hellacious energy requirements.   I don't see that
happening.

No, it includes 3 rounds of ammo.

That's definitely not realistic--the light 60mm and
82mm mortars may not have a large amount of ammo being
manpacked in, but they don't need a trail of bearers
that big.  For some units, the idea is to have every
man carry 2 rounds and drop them off at a designated
point before the attack.
