About

‘The purpose of this handbook is to provide United States military personnel with a compact source of orientation and recognition data on improvised equipment and explosive devices in use by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Viemmam. The Viet Cong forces have acquired wide experience in constructing grenades, mines, fuzes, explosive charges, and other deadly weapons and detices by using commonly available materials. These devices, cunningly placed and camouflaged, have caused many casualties. The authority for retention of war trophies by any individual is governed by directives of the senior U.S, Headquarters in the area concerned, as well as by pertinent regulations. Items of war materiel coming into the possession of U.S. forces will be reported through intelligence channels. Evidence of errors or omissions in this handbook should be forwarded to the U.S.
