The weapon itself, along with its stand, was transportable by a single soldier, though mortars were commonly manned by two soldiers at any given time. When in combat, one soldier aimed the weapon while the other primed the shell and inserted it into the tube. If called upon to move their position, one soldier would take the launch tube and the other would take the base, sharing the burden of ammunition between them and a third soldier, who also served as a spotter.

- Proton mortars were a long-range ground-to-ground weapon used during the Clone Wars. They fired a mortar shell in an arcing trajectory that would explode when it hit the ground, useful for dispatching groups of enemies or firing up and over fortifications. They were used primarily for shelling enemy defense from afar before sending in an attack force. The AT-XT walkers of the Grand Army of the Republic were equipped with proton mortar launchers.
