^^^ I wouldn't want to be the artillery man launching that. You would probably be taking in some serious radiation.
Yes each Gun Battery had to always have a trained team for the task, i got spammed for it twice.
we had a tool kit special for the fuzing & setting the Round, infact it was like a surgical operation as 1 guy was the "toolman" who passed the tools to me & another guy ..we were attaching the fuze & setting it.
The fuze was nothing like a normal fuze for say HE or smoke, illuminating rounds.
It also had numbers running top to bottom in a small window, not like a normal fuze.
after me & the other guy fuzed it & set it it was carried in a special cradle to a Gun which was then Layed & fired the round.
we were in full nuclear kit masked up Noddy suite on.
as far as i remember we had Trenches dug which we were to shelter in.. as much use as Tits on a fish ..fire it & die
being young men at the time i donīt think we really understood the consequences of our actions & the seriousness of it all.
We worked & trained with (if my memory is OK) with the US 15 USAFAD Sennelager. infact we stole their flag
