The mounting of a TOW on HMMWV was meant to improve TOW team mobility and give the US Army a counter to the USSR's use of ultra light ATGM vehicles that would spam defenses. In all it copied over all concept of Spandrel actually improved on it over the 1990s and into the 21st century TOW carrying HMMWVs have been heavily relied upon to attack forces using soviet era armor. Of course the combat seen was against the USSR's successor states and many middle eastern nations so how it would have compared in a hot nonnuclear WW3 is up for debate.
