Brooks Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired True, but they were very low yield, and would be way too heavy to qualify. Al Minyard |

As for Green Light it was a man portable device. They would be emplaced by a crew of two, timer set and left behind while the crew retired to a safe distance. Other than that I don't know much more about it. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired |

Sounds like the pre-SADM SADM, so to speak. But that weapon (T-4/W-9) was even heavier than SADM. The W-54 was the smallest man emplaced weapon we fielded in its SADM configuration. Brooks Dan, U. S.
