Ran "Car Wash Hill" in Ft Leonardwood, MO many of times drunk. The MPs used to say "Army Engineers are nothing but physically fit, functioning alcoholics." But I disagree because we were drunks, not alcoholics. Alcoholics go to meetings, we just call it a Tuesday.
Global Military Products has received a firm-fixed-price contract valued at up to $4.9 million to deliver its Scorpion Light mobile mortar system to the United States Marine Corps for testing and evaluation, the company announced on Feb. 24, 2026.
The systems will be supplied through the Naval Surface Technology & Innovation Consortium and will undergo live-fire testing once delivered to the service.
According to Global Military Products, a Global Ordnance company, the Scorpion Light is mounted on the Polaris MRZR Alpha 6×6 vehicle and forms a fully integrated mobile mortar platform designed to improve mobility, lethality, operator protection, and air transportability. The system is intended to support light infantry formations operating in austere terrain where traditional towed mortar systems may face mobility limitations.
