They still use M-106's? I knew 113's were still in but not 106's. Sweet now I know what to use that Tamiya model I got on sale for.

It is M1064 - mortar carrier based on M113A2. It has 120mm mortar installed in it and it has external fuel cells at the back. It is significantly different vehicle from the old M106 Tamiya kit.

See some photos of it in Sabot's Motorpool:
