Second Army Tennessee Maneuvers. 3 miles
west of Watertown. As an addition to the battalion's
defense,
HQ Co. of the 5th Armd Maint Bn developed
an idea thought up by Ordinance Sgt. Magazine.
The
37mm gun is the only field weapon allotted for the
battalion's defense. To increase firepower, a 50
cal.
Machine gun was mounted on the front of the
37mm gun vehicle. All parts were made and mounted by
HQ personnel.
