To FSNCO or Redleg: how are 120mm and 107mm mortars employed? Are they field artillery or unit assets?

I believe they are unit assets. To my knowlege army arty has 105,155, and MLRS in the FA. Mortors fall under the 11 bang bangs.

Many thanks; next question--performance-wise, how do the 107 and 120 compare to FA?

they are good fast reponse weapons. shorter range roughly 6k for 107mm and 8k for the US 120mm and somewhat smaller HE payload than the compareable howitzer. The benifit of these is they belong to the manuver unit commander and respond to him first. Mortars are high volume weapons the main problem with the is keeping enough ammo on hand.
