View source for List of infantry mortars

{{short description|None}}

This list catalogues [[mortar (weapon)|mortars]] which are issued to infantry units to provide [[close range (combat)|close range]], [[rapid response (weapon firing)|rapid response]], [[indirect fire]] capability of an [[infantry]] [[Military unit|unit]] in [[military tactics|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 the problem of 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" with a [[caliber|calibre]] of up to 120 mm. These larger weapons usually require wheeled assemblies to allow their towing either by hand or by light tactical vehicles.
