Default Re: 40mm GLs

I attached a 2003 US Army report on combat loads in Afghanistan.

Says the Grenadier would carry one 40mm in the weapon plus 24-26 assorted grenades.
Pg.20

The ammo types were later listed as:
WP
HE (assume this includes HEDP)
Smoke
Pg.109

The report also said that the 60mm Mortar Section Leader would carry a M4 Carbine with UGL, with one grenade in the weapon plus 18 grenades.
Pg.63
