TOW Missiles are issued/stored in tubes. The tubes they are issued in are also what the missile is fired from. Humvee TOW carriers have a rack in them that hold 6 missile tubes.

Surprisingly, I don't see any type of storage rack on the vehicle in your photo. Not sure how they are stored with this family of vehicles.
