Description
The M19 mortar was the infantryman's pocket artillery during the Vietnam War, valued for its portability in thick jungle terrain. This original copy of FM 23-85 covers everything a mortarman needed to know about this weapon system. Published in February 1967, this manual sits right in the middle of the conflict's timeline. It details assembly, firing positions, sighting, and ballistics. Unlike modern reproductions, this is a genuine period piece issued by the Department of the Army. The cover is clean, and the binding is intact. It features the standard three-hole punch used for field binders. A perfect reference piece for Vietnam reenactors or ordnance collectors.
