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.
This is a great Vietnam War era 81mm White Phosphorus mortar round, M57A1, used as a cutaway to show the interior workings of the round. The mortar comes on a great custom-made display stand. The mortar is roughly 25 ¼” long and the display stand is 5 ½ x 26 ¼”.
The round is stenciled on the side opposite the cutaway:
81M
WP WICK
XM817
The tail assembly shaft is stamped XM 26 PO-1-74.
The round was definitely cut professionally for the military for teaching purposes.
Ready for further research and display.
