The United States Mortar platoon provided GIs with instant support with both high explosive and smoke bombardments. The 81mm M1 Mortar was based on the French Brandt design developed during the First World War, and the small mortar could be broken down into its three basic components for transport: the tube, the mount and the baseplate. The 81mm mortar's range varied depending on the type of shell used, up to a maximum of 3,290 yards.
