Description
Mines (M-18) are stuck into the ground and carefully wired by a Marine Sgt. The Sgt. unravels wire and moves back to a safe distance before detonation. A 60mm mortar is prepped and aimed. An M-48A1 tank is seen. A M-67A2 flame tank parks. A marine carefully inspects a mine. A mine is planted and a Marine demonstrates how to conceal it. A marine shows a firearm: grenade launcher under the barrel of M-16. The mine demonstration continues.
