Historical Significance
The M29 and M29A1 81mm mortars were used for close fire support. They helped troops fire high-angle rounds from cover.
The M29A1 is described as a smooth-bore, muzzle-loaded, high-angle fire weapon. It uses a cannon assembly, bipod assembly, and baseplate.
What This Change Covers
This update is tied to the Army parts manual for the 81mm M29 and M29A1/M29E1 mortar system. A public Army manual reference lists TM 9-1015-200-20P as an organizational repair parts and special tools list for the M29 and M29A1/M29E1 mortar with M23-series mounts.
