==Overview:==
While the LRM Carrier is regarded as a staple fire support piece across the
Inner Sphere, a large number of military commanders felt that the Heavy LRM
Carrier was step in the wrong direction. To them, the Heavy LRM Carrier
represented putting all of a unit's eggs into one expensive and slow-moving
basket as far as fire support went, something that they were aghast at;
effectively, the Heavy LRM Carrier was little more than a fixed emplacement.

In an effort to remedy this, the decision was made to create the Light LRM
Carrier. The carrier would be wheeled and weigh a mere 35 tons, making it
lighter and faster than its larger counterparts. It would sport twin LRM 10s,
allowing it to send a good deal of fire down-range. 

.75 tons of cargo space was added to the vehicle, increasing the vehicle's
flexibility. Crews assigned to Light LRM Carriers have the choice of either
hauling a quantity of personal gear and food to make them more self-reliant on
an extended mission, or a handful of soldiers to serve as guards for the
vehicle.
