The Canadian Army at the time of Twilight has both the 60mm and 81mm mortars in there infantry battalions. The 81mm are in a mortar platoon found in the battalion combat support company and usually mounted in APC, they found in only Regular Force Battalion since the CF only bought 180 systems.
The 60mm are found in infantry companies and platoons, in dismounted operations the rounds are spreadout throught the platoon or company and dropped of once the base of fire is est durring contact with an enemy force.
Speaking as guy who has had to carry a 60mm durring dismounted ops, it sucks, carrying a big steel tube with three rounds, plus rucksack, plus rifle, plus ammo, plus rations, SUCKS BIG TIME
