The Heavy Weapons Platoon Headquarters controls the platoon’s support weapons, coordinates emplacement, assigns sectors, and manages movement between firing positions.
It is assigned:
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule'''
=== 62.5mm Mortar Teams ===
The platoon fields:
* '''4 × 62.5mm Mortar Teams'''
Each mortar team is a '''4-man team'''.
This gives a mortar section strength of:
* '''16 men'''
* '''4 × 62.5mm mortars'''
=== 62.5mm Mortar Team Transport ===
The mortar teams are moved by:

=== VMG-33 Medium Machine Gun Teams ===
The platoon fields:
* '''4 × VMG-33 Medium Machine Gun Teams'''
Each VMG team is a '''4-man team''':
* Gunner
* Assistant Gunner
* Ammunition Bearer
* Mule Handler
This gives the VMG section a strength of:

* '''4 × VMG-33 medium machine guns'''
=== VMG-33 Team Transport ===
Each VMG-33 team is assigned:
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule''' fitted with the '''UMGM''' (Universal Machine Gun Mount)
This gives the VMG section:
* '''4 × UV-32 Mule'''
During convoy movement, the VMG-33 remains mounted on the Mule and provides en route security, ambush response, and immediate covering fire.
Upon reaching the objective, the team is expected to execute a '''1-minute basic fire-position drill'''. This establishes immediate overwatch while the rest of the company dismounts, spreads out, and begins digging fighting positions.
Once the company’s permanent defensive line is established, the VMG teams shift into their final dug-in firing positions.
=== Heavy Weapons Platoon Support Mule ===
The platoon also includes:
* '''1 × UV-32 Mule'''
This vehicle is used for:
* ammunition movement
* local support hauling
