The '''Squad Support Weapon Mount''' is a piece of equipment which adopts for [[battle armor]] [[squad]]s a concept usually found in conventional [[infantry]] [[platoon]]s.  The practice of carrying a squad support weapon is more prevalent among lighter-weight battlesuit squads, allowing them to carry as a whole larger, more destructive weapons than they could carry individually; a typical example would involve a [[Kage]] squad carrying a [[Light Target Acquisition Gear (battle armor)|Light TAG]] to mark a target for artillery fire.  One trooper in the squad is designated as the squad support weapon's operator and carries the primary components of the weapon itself, while the rest of the squad carries all of the removable parts. Once the squad is in position the weapon is assembled in place and used to provide fire support.<ref name=TM263>''TechManual'', p. 263</ref><ref name="TMp270">''TechManual'', p. 270 "Light (TAG)"</ref>
