About

The mission of the mortar platoon is to provide close and immediate indirect fire support for the maneuver battalion and companies. 1-1. ORGANIZATION Mortars are organized as part of a company and battalion. They are either sections or platoons in airborne, ranger, air assault, light infantry companies, and cavalry troops. They are organized as platoons in all tank and infantry mechanized battalions. Regardless of the organization to which they belong, mortars have the battlefield role of providing the maneuver commander with immediate indirect fires. They can fulfill that mission when all of the elements responsible for placing effective mortar fire on the enemy are properly trained. 1-2. GENERAL DOCTRINE Doctrine demands the timely and accurate delivery of indirect fire to meet the needs of supported units.
