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

Hey, hey !!! even better...

We really have thought this through pretty carefully. I'm sure there'll be some limitations on what's available and usable, particularly given that we're talking about the gun escorts being in close proximity to fuel bowsers, some of which could have developed sudden leaks. That's one reason we thought the idea of having a couple of LOHs or KA52s was particularly desirable, even given the potential for SAM7/14 fire or other MANPADS.

But the better and more overlaspping the capabilities and equipment can be, the better off in the event of a shortfall or absence of any one piece of the puzzle. Redundancy and polyvalence are the mutual watchwords here....
