Glad you like the photo. This is another one from the same moment.

 

I've wondered why they have what appear to be protective masks. If the photo was taken at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, it could because some of the ranges were near Edgewood Arsenal, where chemical weapons were researched.

 

When I was at APG in the 1970's, we were told all of the civilian and military personnel were issued and carried protective masks. Imagine working in an office day in and day out with one of those on your hip.

Is that not a 4.2 in. chemical mortar they are firing?

 

It's a 4.2 in mortar, but I would be surprised if they were firing live chemical rounds without having protective masks on. But that is one explanation that is possible.
