M1064 mortar carrier
type of Mortar carrier
The M1064 mortar carrier is an American vehicle, consisting of the M121 mortar – a version of the M120 mortar – mounted on an M113 chassis. The M1287 mortar carrier vehicle will replace the M1064 in U.S. Army service.
Design
The design consists of the M298 cannon, M191 bipod, M9 baseplate, and the carrier adaptation kit. With the use of an auxiliary M9 baseplate and extension feet for the M191 bipod, the M121 can be dismounted from the vehicle and emplaced for ground-mounted operations. The first M1064s were converted from M106 mortar carriers, whose 107 mm mortars had been replaced by the 120 mm mortars.

Why this record matters
The phrase “type of Mortar carrier” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6713480. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995 and 1997.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
