MAN, I would love to come across a breakaway weapons mount like this one has!!
This one is either USAF CC Combat Controllers, (now TACP) attached to 9th HTMD, or one of the Fast Attack Bns' S-3 (Air) going by the UHF "shark fin" antenna. The Marines are smart, they have their own Air Wing, their own intrinsic Close Air Support CAS. Unlike the Marines, the Army has to depend on the USAF for CAS so each Army Division, whether Light, Airborne, Mechanized, Armor or Motorized (with FAV in (HTMD case), has a detachment of USAF red beret Combat Controllers with specially equiped vehicles for carrying both the FM Radios to talk to the ground elements as well as the VHF/UHF for talking to Air. The shark fin antenna on HMMWV made them stand out.
On the radio shelf I see two box shaped objects. Bottom one is likely the RT524, the PRC77 on AM2060 the speaker is taller than the PRC77 radio, the RT524 is straight across. I see something at an angle up to the top box. To me that looks like a bungee cord is securing either the aluminum transport case for the AN/PVS5 NVG or its the battery case or Missile Guidance Set for the M220 TOW. The FAV would also have a VPC Vehicular Power Conditioner installed for the TOW Guidance Set batteries, somewhere. The below M220A1 diagram may be a newer system not in use yet during the 9th High Technology Motorized Division HTMD era, but I could be wrong, I was a Mortar Maggot 11Charlie not 11Hotel. This FAV appears to still have the thermal Nightsight still installed, the crewman shaving may indicate this is first thing in the morning during an administrative period, the crew hasn't replaced the AN/TAS-4 Nightsight unit with the Daysight Tracker
