FORT CARSON, Colorado - Mortarmen assigned to Company A, 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, conduct a Mortar Range at Fort Carson, April 8, 2016. During the training event, the Soldiers fired 120-mm mortar rounds, adjusting to effectively suppress their intended targets. For the mortar section to operate effectively, each squad member must be proficient in their individual duties. By performing those duties as a team member, he enables the mortar squad and section to perform as a fighting team.
The 120-mm mortar provides close-in and continuous indirect fire support to maneuver forces. The 120-mm mortar also provides increased range and lethality over 81-mm and 60-mm mortars, but the mortar and ammunition are heavier. There are three versions of the 120-mm mortar: the towed M120, the vehicle-mounted M121 (as seen in these photos), and the Stryker-mounted RMS6-L recoilless mortar.
