View source for Engineering:List of infantry mortars

{{short description|None}}
This list catalogues mortars which are issued to infantry units to provide close range, rapid response, indirect fire capability of an infantry unit in tactical combat.<ref>p.41, Ryan</ref> In this sense the mortar has been called "infantryman's artillery", and represents a flexible logistic solution{{clarify|date=January 2013}} to satisfying unexpected need for delivery of firepower, particularly for the light infantry.<ref>p.34, Ryan</ref> In general infantry mortars are defined by what a team of infantrymen, sometimes known as mortarmen, can transport unaided by significant vehicle support. Because of this intrinsic restriction mandated by weight, mortars are only considered "infantry" to a [[Engineering:Caliber|calibre]] of 120mm. These larger weapons usually require wheeled assemblies to allow their towing either by hand or by light tactical vehicles.
