To expand on what has already been said:
1) 120mm Mortars are only a company asset in SBCTs, something not really relevant in T2K.
2) This is where I'll disagree with copeab a little and say that Company organizations actually do shift quite a bit. Swapping a Mech Infantry Platoon for an Armor Platoon in a Heavy Brigade is pretty common, which leaves the Armor Company now possessing a Mech Infantry Platoon. My 54-man, Anti-Armor Company traded off two platoons and received two Rifle Platoons turning us into a Rifle Company during our entire deployment to Iraq. In 1996, my platoon was attached to another Company and that whole Company was then attached to another Battalion. When this happens it's called being given OPerational CONtrol (OPCONd) to another unit. It's actually pretty common and is the technical term for what Paul was discussing in some other thread about the BCT makeups during OIF and Desert Storm.
