Introduction

Mortars are suppressive indirect fire weapons. They can be employed to neutralize, suppress, or destroy area or point targets, screen large areas with smoke, and provide illumination or coordinated high-explosive/illumination. The mortar platoon’s mission is to provide close and immediate indirect  fire  support to all maneuver units on the battlefield.
