Someone correct me if i am wrong:

Mortars in the vanilla game is a two bag system which would mean you need two people to use them.

specific servers may have modded that so it becomes a one man however you would have to find those servers. You may also run into a server that allows it but uses ACE and its going to change how you deploy the mortars.

lastly- invade and annex servers have one mortar spot to use so if you can get on those servers you will be able to use them.

i know i didnt directly answer your question but i hope this gives some insight

Or a vehicle to carry both bags in.👍

if it a zeus game, ask zeus to put on down.
if its on editor, find the mortars under artillery. Place it and play single player.

Put the mortar bipod on the ground while you have the tube on your back, look at the bipod and use scroll wheel to set up the mortar.

I suggest you use a vehicle transport the bags or have a zeus spawn it in if they'll accept it, like what Darkest Walnut said.

This is correct. Mortars in the base game are two-bag, although there are mods like Warfarethai that offer one-bag mortars. There are also lightweight "Commando Mortars" on the workshop that can be fully utilized by one guy.
