A VOLCANO WITH AN INSTANT MINEFIELD ON THE SIDE: A 25th Infantry Division UH-60 Black Hawk conducts Volcano minefield system training at Makua Range, Hawaii. The dispenser system gives soldiers a scatterable mine capability that can be mounted on a helicopter or land vehicle. The system can rapidly lay up to 960 anti-tank (AT) mines. Anti-personnel mines can be mixed with the AT mines. In the photo the M139 Volcano Mine Dispenser is mounted on the sides of the aircraft. The helicopter is approaching the target area. The Army placed the Volcano in “storage” in 2001 but brought the system back in 2017.
