A mortar team of two operators equipped with a Chinese-made Type 87 mortar is the common LPM solution for man-portable indirect fire. Dedicated mortar units are a rarity in the LPM; instead, mortarmen are typically part of the assault group headquarters and attached out piecemeal to other units in the field as circumstances require.
While this does mean that LPM indirect fire can be less consistently arriving at the same time as other nations might prefer, Lemurian doctrine emphasizes the use of drones and real-time communication, treating mortars as more of a precision capability to be used at the cutting edge of a targeting system, and less of an area denial weapon.
Lemurian mortars are typically not assigned to dedicated vehicles, instead being carried by the troops on foot, or bundled into whatever motor transportation might be available.
