What common type of target would a mortar team engage?

A mortar team typically engages enemy troop concentrations due to the nature and capabilities of mortars. Mortars are indirect fire weapons designed to provide high angle fire and are particularly effective against groups of personnel that are concentrated in a specific area.

When a mortar team identifies a gathering of enemy troops, they can utilize the explosive power and range of mortars to deliver rounds effectively, causing maximum disruption to the enemy's operations and morale. Mortar systems can deliver both high explosive and other types of rounds that can target soft-skinned vehicles and infantry, making them particularly valuable against troop concentrations on the battlefield.

While buildings and infrastructure, aircraft, and supply lines are also valid targets, they are typically not the primary focus for mortar teams. Engaging troop concentrations aligns most closely with the strategic emphasis of mortal artillery in supporting ground operations and maximizing their impact in combat scenarios.
