I was in the Fire Direction Control center for an artillery battery. One of our last demos for the brass before the 196th Light Infantry Brigade deployed was a time-on-target air burst of the entire battalion's guns - 18 105's. The calculations were extensive and had to be done by hand then - no computers (1966). I didn't get to see the results, but my lieutenant said it was spectacular. Eighteen rounds going off within a few seconds of each other from about 10 to 50 yards above the target. The batteries (3) shot from different locations also. I would like to have seen it. Saw a demo at Ft. Sill before graduating there - hell of a sight, and that was an 8-inch battery. -- Boys and their toys... |
