Design
The SOHG grenade is based on the HGO-115 non-modular offensive model hand-grenade.[1]
SOHG grenades are "stackable", meaning up to three can be configured[2] and connected to increase blast power to provide overpressuring effects,[3] while using the same fuze.
The base grenade has a non-removable, 3.5 second fuse and a body encasing .25 pounds (110 g) of high explosive, so three connected grenades can have up to .75 lb (340 g) of blast force.[4][5][6]
Adoption
In 2010, US SOCOM began fielding SOHG grenades under the designation Mk 21 Mod 0.[7]
In 2024, the U.S. Marine Corps received deliveries of the Mk 21 Mod 0 SOHG for their frontline infantry units.[8][9]
