The M1129 Mortar Carrier, also known as the MCV-B (Mortar Carrier Vehicle version B), is based on the Stryker armored personnel carrier, itself a descendant of the Swiss Mowag Piranha III.
The M1129's predecessor, the MCV-A, carried a mortar that could only be used on foot, while the M1129 is fully capable of firing from a fixed position inside the vehicle.
The MC provides accurate and deadly high-angle fire to support operations in difficult terrain and urban environments. The MC accommodates a 120mm mortar system that fires the entire family of mortar ammunition (HE, Illumination, IR, Smoke, Precise Targeting) in position.
The first M1129 vehicles were adopted by the 172nd Stryker Bri
