Historical Background
Mortar teams played a crucial support role during World War II, providing infantry units with the ability to engage enemy positions beyond the range of direct fire. Operating close to the front lines, mortar crews delivered essential battlefield support during attacks, defensive actions, and difficult operations in challenging environments.
Australian forces relied heavily on coordinated infantry support during campaigns including the Kokoda Track and the battles throughout New Guinea, where difficult terrain and determined opposition demanded effective teamwork and fire support.
