I learned on these split trail 105's Lz Salem 7/13 Charlie Battery 70-71

Reminds me of aiming circle hill at Fort Sill.

I was born in 1957 at Southern Baptist Hospital on Napeolan Ave. I grew up in Metairie and worked in New Orleans most of my working years

Viet nam vet 68/69 1-5-5 arty central highlands how many of you guys ever put in your ear plugs??? Lost most of my hearing the VA won’t recognize it so I can’t receive any compensation, all they do is give you hearing aids

Anybody have a picture of F and M Patio from the 1960s?

Dumb tricks It was designed for anti aircraft not ground force. Sad

I moved to N.O. in the '50's. It was such a great place to live at that time, with very little crime and so much to offer in the way of entertainment for the family. I miss those bygone days.

Did anyone serve with my father. He was Marine division. His name was Dorsey Patton. He spent most of his first tour with these guns.

ถือ ว่า ยัง น่า สน ใจ อยู่

As a wrecker driver/operator I was always glad to have these guys behind me on a convoy. Thanks Bob Bielsky 2/35th Artillery

I was in Delta Battery, 2/11, 1st Marine Division in Vietnam in 1969-70. We had six 105 mm and 2 155 mm guns but rarely had full crews like these.

Served in Battery E 41st.Arty. Quad-50 machine gun crew in 1968-1969 . Base camp in Anh-Khe .

Sadly forgotten iconic weapon of Vietnam.

Lethal!

Very nice, I love old Disney footage

A Battery 13th. Artillery Cu Chi 1966-67

Anyone knows the song name ?

My uncle was part of a 105 team In the delta I believe. Very good video

This brings back fun memories for me as a young soldier at Ft Lewis 1975. The battalion i was stationed in had three batteries of the M114 's as we called them the pig, and one battery of the 8 inch howitzer. All of our NCO"s were Vietnam vets.

Fire mission, Battery adjust.

Back When New Orleans Wasn't Destroyed By Gang Violence.

if u read that at least any third higher ranking military is organized in masonic lodges u see that taxpayer wasting from different perspective

Frage mich, was bei nacktem Oberkörper der Helm schützen soll .. bei Splitterwirkung ist ja der gesamte Körper betroffen und nicht nur der Kopf, aber die Artillerie ist ja nicht die Infanterie, bei einer Reichweite der Schußentfernung des "Long Tom" Geschützes von 23720 Metern

They did not call them "meat choppers" In WW2 for nothing

I was drafted in January 1969 and after completion of BCT I was sent to Ft. Sill Oklahoma for my MOS training of artillery. When I got to Vietnam a few weeks later they put me in an Arial rocket artillery unit that used Cobra helicopters instead of guns. All that training and I never got to use it.

Where in the New Orleans area was this?

Listen to the song and the gun firing I’m rocking out 🎸.

I served in a 105 battery, in Vietnam (1967/1968) and have never seen a battery set up like this. I don't know where it was filmed but they have no protection from income fire. All of the ammo is exposed and everyone acts like they're having a picnic in the park.

Anyone who runs is a VC. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined VC

My grandfather died there. Thank you for posting

TURN OFF THAT DAMN MUSIC!

What’s with the loud music? Not necessary

look at how much stuff has changed in 50 years these were some bad ass MFers shooting them off no hearing protection no flack jackets to protect their chest probably all of them under the age of 22-23 just bad ass dudes

Nice to see the rounds actually impacting. Excellent video.

HAMBURGER HILL

Who is here the chief of the piece?

I've been there. Truly stunning.

Looking good. I arrived nam in Sept of 1967 with artillery unit attached to 198th brigade. I was first assigned to 1/14 arty then transferred to 3/16 on the 155 just like the one in this video. During Tet we far exceeded the safe limit of fire. We fired that beast for 72 hours non stop. The last day, the tube was so hot the grease was dripping out of the slides. We had to pump grease in about every five rounds or the slide would chatter as it returned to fire position. Our recoil mechanism quit working about ten minutes before cease fire. It had to go to ordinance for repairs. We received a presidential unit citation for that.

I was in B 3/82 Arty. 196th LIB 23rd Inf. Div. Americal 1968-1969. Medivaced out after LZ East was overrun on 06-11-1969. Spent time on Baldy but mostly LZ Center and East.

My mom was also a teenager in the 1950’s... I use to love when she talked about those times....

The one on A-4 (Con Thien) was "The Mod Quad" Trust me you do not want to be on the wrong end of one of these. BTDT...
