We had Marines with backpack nukes along the DMZ for years. It was their job to prevent the north from overrunning the south. Carter removed the Marines with the nukes.

How did those work? I hadn’t heard of them before.

I’m interested in the firing range, the detonation radius, and the relative safety of the service member who fired them off.

Hmm. I hadn’t heard that before. We (the US) haven’t had Marine ground units at/near the DNZ for many moon’s. Additionally, the logistics of storing/handling/deploying such weapons (if they existed) would have been extremely expensive, not to mention politically sensitive.

Regards,
