Figure 2-36. AT grenades. Figure 2-37. Smoke grenades. ILLUMINATION GRENADES Illumination grenades are used for illuminating, signaling, and as an incendiary agent. See Figure 2-38. The metal body breaks apart after the fuze functions and dispenses an illumination flare. This 2-28
type of grenade uses a burning-delay fuze that functions 3 to 5 seconds after the safety lever is released. Figure 2-38. US illumination grenade. PLACED ORDNANCE Placed ordnance is commonly referred to as land mines. Land mines may be hidden or buried under the ground and may be classified as APERS or AT. Visual detection of land mines may be difficult at best. If you come to a suspected minefield, report it as a minefield to your commander. All combat arms personnel report a minefield on an obstacle report. For further information and procedures for reporting land mines, refer to <strong>FM</strong> 20-32. Photographs of placed ordnance and NEWS are in Appendix E. ANTIPERSONNEL MINES APERS mines are generally small and come in different shapes and sizes. See Figure 2-39, page 2-30. Some APERS mines are even made of wood, for example, the box mine shown in Figure 2-39. Some APERS mines are designed to function when stepped on, such as those shown in Figure 2-39. Other APERS mines are designed for use as booby traps. See Figure 2-40, page 2-30. These mines are set up to function by using a trip wire laid out across a path or road. When the trip wire is pulled or cut, the fuze functions. Some APERS mines, such as the US claymore mine, may be set up to function by command detonation. 2-29
