   [ for submission to sci.military ]


   Forgive me if this is a stupid question:  I was reading
   a book on the battles in the area of Pork Chop Hill in
   the Korean War and I saw frequent references to an artillery
   round called a VT round.  From context it appeared to 
   be some kind of antipersonnel, proximity-fused round.
   What is it exactly and what does VT stand for?

   Thanks in advance.
