Army Soldiers from the 198th Infantry Brigade conduct the Mortars-in-Action live fire demonstration at Red Cloud Range April 11, 2024, at Fort Moore, Ga. The demonstration wrapped up the 2024 Best Mortar Competition. ( Army photo by Patrick A. Albright) The International Best Mortar Competition occurs April 6-11 and consists of teams across forces and partner nations vying for the title of Best Mortar Crew. Only those qualified in an indirect fire (mortar) military occupational specialty or those with additional skill identifiers may compete. Mortars have the most power and range of any weapon in an infantry unit. Indirect Fire Soldiers are members of a mortar squad, section, or platoon. They carry out scout missions to spot enemy troops, gun locations, and operate two-way radios and signal equipment to relay battle orders. The Best Mortar Competition highlights the capabilities of mortar crews and gives spectators an inside-look at combat operations.
