Now you're talking, send in the Scouts...Crew of three, pilot, observer and a crew chief/gunner in the back with a crate full of frags and a bungee mounted GMP, with a pilot controlled, MK-19 on the left side.

Give give them one half mile either side of the line of travel as a free fire zone and the ability to call in a high bird and your convoy survivability goes up.

Observation and retaliation all in one...

Pretty close. Except for 60mm M19 mortar rounds instead of frags for the crew chief.
