BLUEHAWK, sharpnel comes from the shell caseing, the fuze is set on SQ ( super quick ) sets off the shell when it hits the ground. I have had to fire two fire missions where the infantry commander called down fire on his own positon. This is the call of the infantry officer in the situation where he feels it necessary to do so. It is my understanding that such a call could not be refused by artillery. I have fired with-in 25 meters of our troops more times then I can remember. This is where Artillery shines.
