81 mm mortar was the largest I'd ever fired or been trained on which both the USAF units The 12th Security Police Squadron at Cam Rahn Bay and the 366th Security Police at Da Nang, Vietnam in 1968-69 had been assigned to in Vietnam has used. I was never on one of the units mortar crews but all of us were trained on and fired them during that training prior to going to Vietnam. Shown here is one of the 81 mm mortars used by the 366th SPS on one of our mortar batteries at Da Nang Air Base in 1968-69 while I was assigned there. The USAF 366th SPS unit fired thee mortars both during attacks on the base but also in support of Marine Corp units operating in the area per their request for that support.

A attack was supposed to happen during TET of 1972. We got pulled out of the bush and set up our 81mm on a beach in Vung Tau with only illumination rounds for a whole week. No attack, but a month later the real attack began and was known as the Easter Offensive.

Four-Deuce, 81mm and 60mm have been standard for our forces since WWI . . .
