A pictorial history of this powerful piece of artillery, an icon of the Cold War era. In 1949, the US Army wanted an artillery gun that could fire a nuclear warhead in the event that guided missiles and long-range bombers proved insufficient in delivering atomic weapons. The result was the M65 280mm Atomic Cannon. On May 25, 1953, at 0830 hours, an M65 of A Battery, 867th Field Artillery Battalion, let loose with the only nuclear round the type would ever fire. Six battalions of the M65 would eventually be deployed, most in Europe with one battalion sent to the Korean Peninsula. Though never used in combat, they served as a significant tactical nuclear deterrent. Through historic photos, this volume traces the development, production and deployment of this iconic piece of military equipment from the drawing boards to the Cold War battlefields of Europe.

The marketplace for books about military history is crowded with an abundance of titles about every weapon system ever built, from trireme to Tiger tank, but, ironically, is almost deserted when it comes to the most fearsome weapons of all: the never-used nuclear weapons of the Cold War. That gap is partly filled by this never previously published series of declassified official histories written by Sandia National Laboratories in the late 1960s. This volume is a history of the gun-type artillery-fired atomic projectiles that entered service beginning in 1952 with the Mk 9 and followed by Mks 19, 23, 32, and 33. The work contains a timeline; a narrative history; a glossary of terms; and 58 footnotes. Development began in late 1949 (shortly after the first Soviet detonation of an atomic weapon) at the request of the Army. Sandia defines the weapon's mission as "a defensive or offensive weapon against infantry masses concentrated in front of the sector through which a breakthrough was planned. It was hoped that a nuclear artillery shell, fuzed for air burst, could destroy the ability of these troops to stage an attack, or defend the sector." It's noteworthy that the weapon was not expected to be used against the Soviet Union's primary land striking force, its tens of thousands of tanks in armored formations. The initial design was for a 890-lb shell that could be fired from a 280-mm gun at muzzle velocity of 1700 feet per second. This was heavier and slower than a conventional shell and meant that special propellant charges, firing tables, and spotting shells were required in operation. Prototype shells were being fired by mid-1951, and the the Mk 9 Mod 0-ZZ Shell was successfully tested in Operation Upshot-Knothole at the Nevada Test Site in Shot Grable on May 23, 1953. Yield was the expected 15 kilotons. The Mk 9 was replaced by the Mk 19, which was the same weight as a conventional shell and thus could be operated under normal firing procedures. The Mk 23 shell was developed to be fired from the 16-inch (405-mm) rifles on board US Navy battleships with an amphibious warfare rather than antiship mission in mind. Initial deliveries were made to the Fleet in the same period as the Navy retired the last 16-inch rifle from active use. The TX-32 shell was intended for use in the 240-mm howitzer, but was cancelled in favor of an 8-inch (203-mm) implosion design proposed by the University of California Radiation Laboratory. The Mk 33 shell was available by July 1955 for the 8-inch M-2 howitzer. Fortunate indeed that the history of these particular weapons is not written in fire on the pages of history. In another world, this might be the story of the Mk 9 that was fired from "Atomic Annie" against the 5th Guards Banner Army at the Rhine, or the Katie that was fired from the battleship New Jersey to support the amphibious assault on Shanghai.

Training Circular (TC) 3-09.81, "Field Artillery Manual Cannon Gunnery," sets forth the doctrine pertaining to the employment of artillery fires. It explains all aspects of the manual cannon gunnery problem and presents a practical application of the science of ballistics. It includes step-by-step instructions for manually solving the gunnery problem which can be applied within the framework of decisive action or unified land operations. It is applicable to any Army personnel at the battalion or battery responsible to delivered field artillery fires. The principal audience for ATP 3-09.42 is all members of the Profession of Arms. This includes field artillery Soldiers and combined arms chain of command field and company grade officers, middle-grade and senior noncommissioned officers (NCO), and battalion and squadron command groups and staffs. This manual also provides guidance for division and corps leaders and staffs in training for and employment of the BCT in decisive action. This publication may also be used by other Army organizations to assist in their planning for support of battalions. This manual builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, numerous exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security.
