Another example of screwed up decisions
Further to the decision to relegate Armour to the dust bin, is anyone aware of the recent move to remove mortars from Inf Bns and place them in Arty units?
As I understand it, the Arty units don't want mortars, the Inf Bns are quite upset about losing same, and they now have to pretty well have to go through more comm nets in order to order their own indirect fire and FDF, also, what happens to all the advanced mortar types (Inf MFCs?). Looks like more room for confusion on the battlefield. Mortars have always been organic to an Inf Bn, whether a 60 mm at Pl level or an 81 mm at Bn level. Inf doctrine has always included the use of mortars in all four phases of warfare.
Any MOC 031s out there (Tonner?), or Golf call signs like to comment?
