Smoke Grenade

Smoke Grenade
Smoke grenades are a non lethal, thrown grenade designed to provide concealment or mark positions visually for reasons ranging from fire missions to landing zones to friendly positions. A smoke grenade will begin to disperse smoke soon after being thrown, and will continue dispersal for approximately eighty seconds thereafter. Historically, specific colors were used for specific purposes, but that is no longer the case. The primary reason being that should your opponent learn your color codes, they could then use smoke to lure friendlies to an area or to have close air support attack a friendly position. Therefore, when smoke is used to mark something, a radio call is made dictating what is being marked, where, and with what color.
