M270/HIMARS MLRS-style launcher pod reload

IIRC MLRS doctrine used to be to fire it, and then change ground to avoid the counter-battery fire that was expected to be inevitable. I think the various launch vehicles would move through the reload point on their way to their next firing point. Of course since a big part of the MLRS role used to be counter-battery work, a very interesting sort of slap fight could result.
