This formation unfortunately also picks up the 84mm L14A1; Weapon: #29 L14A1 SRAAW
This was not available in theatre due to restrictions on ammunition, (there wasn’t any), so hence not available in that time slot.
The L14A1s were not replaced by a bunch of M72's either. Some units had a US weapon that look like a rocket launcher, just cant remember what it was called. Just got to find the information again.

This has been dealt with by creating a new 90mm RCL unit with just HE that only #208 Spt Pl uses. It gives the VN formations support without involving weapons that they didn't have in theatre |
