TEAM YANKEE AMERICAN AIRMOBILE MACHINE-GUN AND MORTAR PLATOONS (x28 FIGURES)
The 1st Cavalry Division’s airmobile rifle companies were built for rapid deployment, moving light and fast to secure landing zones and support helicopter-borne operations. Their platoons relied on versatile support weapons to hold key positions, reinforce defensive perimeters, and provide immediate firepower where it was needed most.
M60 machine-guns were a core part of these operations, delivering sustained fire to protect Landing Zones and strengthen infantry positions—especially valuable during Vietnam-era engagements. Alongside them, the battalion mortar platoon used the M29 81mm mortar, an improved, longer-ranged, and lighter version of the WWII-era M1, giving crews more mobility without sacrificing fire support capability.
Product Info:
This set provides 28 metal infantry figures representing both Airmobile M60 machine-gun teams and M29 81mm mortar teams. Together, they form essential support elements for U.S. airmobile forces in Team Yankee, bringing added firepower, range, and tactical flexibility.
About the Unit:
