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 “Shop Copy” wood & aluminum fabrication of a Mk. II hand grenade, as used for testing/trials/familiarization at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. This is certainly a period manufacturer, with OD green paint that has heavily chipped away over the years. The fuze is held on with a single flat-head screw in the center, and has a pull ring. It is a slight bit larger than an actual Mk. II, and the construction at the bottom of the grenade shows its intricacies. 

A great wartime shop copy used for training, ready for further research and display!
