Original Item. Only One Available. When it comes to designing a training program for military personnel, instructors are faced with several challenges. First, unlike athletes there is no off-season, most units are either preparing for deployment, deployed, or refitting from deployment. Secondly, training facilities vary from location to location and often focus on a single task. These tasks may include muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, field craft or marksmanship. Each of the above contribute to the success of an operation, however there is one area of training that is deficient. This deficiency is visual training; visual ability plays a larger role in achieving optimum performance than most military personnel realize. The goal of integrating visual training into an already packed curriculum is not to dilute it but to improve tactical performance.

To help users better understand the equipment they are using, examples like this cutaway were made. These were intended to give the users a look at the internal structure of the explosives, showing the different layers as well as where they connect or thread into each other.

This is a 1960s era Federal Laboratories Spedeheat Smoke Grenade, HC, which was turned into a cutaway for training purposes. The label on the side reads:

NO. 108
HC
FEDERAL SPEDEHEAT
SMOKE GRENADE
FEDERAL LABORATORIES, INC.
SALTSBURG, PENNA., U.S.A.
REPLACE BEFORE ___
MADE IN U.S.A.

The grenade retains its fuze, though it is unmarked. The piece on the interior is loose and comes out, as there is some breakage. It should sit fine for display. 

The accompanying husk is matching to the grenade, as it is labeled 108 / CUT AWAY / SAMPLE, the number matching the number on the label of the grenade.

A great set, ready for further research and display.
