We would also park a tank next to a tree, climb into the branches and rig Claymores in the upper branches, interesting how dismounts never seem to look up?

And just to entertain the ones who went for cover in that nice, deep, safe ditch, claymore at each end firing the length, a roll or two of detcord...and seed liberally with toe poppers.

And those brave souls who charge the firing line...a line of claymore and a couple of 105mm cannons loaded with Beehive or canister rounds....it truly sucks when you go up against Armored Cavalry!!!

No, No, I mean the literal Engineers Field Manual.... It is a pocket sized book with improvised munitions, and charts and tables for building bridges or factoring the explosives to take down a bridge.

This little critter right here.

Got a copy of the manual, but when I was a (much) younger trooper, it was the IEM, which should date my happy a..err..can!

Still the important thing is the multitude of dirty tricks that one can pull on an unsuspecting target...

Ah well, Merry Christmas to ya!!

We should do an improvised explosives thread for those who were not "blessed" with a travel and adventure job with exceptional chances to engage foreign locals with deep philosophical debate!
