In mountain and jungle terrain, where targets were obscured, the suppressive fire had to be accurately controlled and fire discipline maintained in order to avoid hitting friendly troops and to prevent needless expenditure of ammunition.
In mountainous areas and in some jungle areas, it was not possible to vary the route of approach.

 Alphecca: The Weekly Check on the Bias
Blagojevich is trying to have it both ways by appealing to the gun grabbers --such as Chicago Mayor Daley who will never be happy until every single gun is removed from the state (except for his, of course) and yet trying to placate the more conservative voters in other parts of the state.
I have to say that while the Chicago Tribune is usually very biased in their reporting of gun and gun control stories, this one was reasonably balanced by presenting opinions on both sides of the issues.
As a congressman from Chicago, he had one of the most consistent gun control records in congress, but he ran for governor distributing camouflage-colored ''Hunters for Blagojevich'' bumper stickers and promising that he would be sensitive to their views on guns.

 10th Mountain Division Association, Inc. - News & Events
A DUKW carrying 25 soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division's 605th Field Artillery Battalion (6 from C Battery, the rest from B Battery) plus the helmsman who probably came from IV Corps and possibly also 50-caliber machine-gunner who came from some other unit in the 5th Army.
This is the only 10th Mountain Division DUKW sinking in WW II, so it seems to me virtually certain that the wreck discovered by Picard, close to shore at the north end of Lake Garda, is in fact a relic of this tragedy.
The surface of the lake is at 65 meters and according to the divers with 6th Fleet, the contours on the bottom of the lake are from sea level, not the actual surface of the lake.
