I am trying to decipher one of the TO&E entries on page 115.
1 X 82mm Auto-Mortar(3)/TL3 Truck

That should mean 1 stand of that mortar and is transported in a truck. The (3) is 3 sections but I am not sure what exactly that means. Does that mean the stand has 3 mortars on it? Or is it just an infantry stand with a mortar on it? Or is it a game mechanic that I am missing in the rules?

Also, I assume the figure I would use is in the W97 pack? I am not super familiar with weapons so I am not sure if auto-mortar means something else.

Thanks!

You cannot use the mortar of W97 as the 2B9 Vasylek /the name of the automatic mortar) seems a light artillery piece with a substantial wheled carriage. It is toswd by truck.

What the designation for the mortar stand means is that it:
1. Is a stand with a single mortar on it that gets to fire 3 impact zones OR
2. It is a stand that can be split into 3 separate stands that get to fire 1 impact zone each.

At least that's my read on the situation. If one of the other masters of the rules has a better read on this I'm all ears, well eyes!

You are spot on Waddell.
