The 81mm Mortar Squad and Platoon (US)

Armoured Divisions always have organic infantry units within them, whose job it is to clear the ground of antitank weapons and enemy infantry as the armour advances. This pamphlet covers the infantry mortar element of the infantry battalion, which was mounted in half-tracks, and provided support for the infantry at work. The pamphlet covers all aspects of the training, command and control and employment of the unit in battle. Amply illustrated with 98 figures in the text.
