Davey Crockett
Joins the Army
WASHINGTON 09V—The Army’s
Davy Crockett — an atomic mortar
for front line troops — finally is
in the hands of American forces.
The Defense Department, con
firming this for the first time, de
clined to say where the Crockett
has been assigned.
But indications are the first
weapons probably has been given
to Army forces deployed in West
Germany, facing 22 Russian di
visions in Communist East Ger
many.
Sources said each of the five
U.S. infantry divisions in Germany
likely would mount about 15 of
the Crocketts, which can hurl a
warhead about six miles. The
weapon’s nuclear warhead carries
the blast power of somewhat less
than 1,000 tons of TNT.
When the Crockett was unveiled
two years ago it was said by the
Army to “dwarf in firepower any
thing we have ever known in the
immediate area of the battle line.”
When the Army's divisions are
reorganized, the plan calls for a
Davy Crockett mortar platoon in
each battalion, with three weapons
to a platoon. A division of 16 bat
talions —the maximum — would
have 45 atomic weapons.
Army specialists said the Croc
kett, operated by two and three
man teams, would be aimed to
blast enemy pillboxes, bunkers,
troop masses, artillery positions,
tank concentrations, command
posts, supply dumps and com
munications.
It can chew up any of these
within 200 to 500 yards of its
burst.
