U.S. Army - Yuma Proving Grounds, Arizona!
Spent a little time at the Yuma Proving Grounds looking at some historical photos and machinery. It was pretty cool to get up close to the tanks out by the check-in area, inside the base getting to see the land train was a really special treat.

Yuma Proving Ground Command Sgt. Maj. Change of Responsibility
A change of responsibility ceremony occurred in early July 2016 for the position of U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground Command Sergeant Major. Former CSM Sean Ward departed YPG to take up new responsibilities at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He was replaced by CSM Christopher Prosser, who has maintained a whirlwind schedule since that time, visiting test sites, meeting people
throughout the proving ground and generally growing comfortable with his new position. As YPG's Command Sergeant Major he is the proving ground's senior enlisted Soldier and close advisor to the YPG Commander.

Upshot-Knothole - Grable 1080p ᴴᴰ BONUS FOOTAGE - The 280mm Nuclear Cannon 5/25/53
This is the first AND last test of the nuclear artillery shell (Labeled 'Grable' for gun) - the 280mm AFAP (Artillery Fired Atomic Projectile). The shot was an artillery delivered airburst. The shell traveled 11,000 yards before detonation which occurred 86 feet west, 137 feet south, and 24 feet above the designated burst point. The predicted yield was 14 kt. - May 25, 1953 (15 Kilotons) - The Atomic Cannon. Tested in the Nevada Desert. Of the twenty M65s produced, at least seven survive on display, plus the 240mm prototype. Most no longer have their prime movers.
U.S. Army Artillery Museum, Fort Sill, Oklahoma (This is the original Atomic Annie that fired the live nuclear shot. It was restored in 2010 and is now displayed with prime movers replacing those that were lost in an accident when the cannon was retrieved from Germany by the museum in 1964.)
