Forward Observer
Mortarmen in the U.S. Marines are the unit that's mainly responsible for the tactical employment of the 60 mm light mortar and the 81 mm medium mortar. We provide indirect fire in support of the rifle and Light Armored Reconnaissance (LARS) squads, platoons, and companies, as well as the infantry and LAR battalions. Indirect fire is aiming and firing a projectile without relying on a direct line of sight between the gun and its target, as in the case of direct fire. Weapons that rely on indirect fire have a larger kill radius with explosive rounds to assist in the expansion of effectiveness.
The two mortars used by the Marine Corps is the MM224A1 (60mm) and the M252 (81mm).
The M224 60mm Lightweight Mortar is a smooth bore, muzzle-loading, high-angle-of-fire weapon used for close-in support of ground troops. Depending upon the configuration, the M224 will weigh between 18-45 lbs. Each of the 60mm rounds weight 4 lbs.
The M252 81mm Medium Weight Mortar is a smooth bore, muzzle-loading, high-angle-of-fire weapon used for long-range indirect fire support to light infantry, air assault, and airborne units across the entire front of a battalion zone of influence. The M252 weighs 90 lbs and each round weighs 10 lbs.
