The Weapons Platoon's assault section contained three squads, each with a launcher team. In USMC service, the M202 was issued to dedicated teams of 0351 Assaultman at the battalion level. As a result, the weapon had mostly been relegated to storage by the mid-1980s, even though it nominally remains a part of the U.S. While vastly more lightweight than the M2 flamethrower it replaced, the weapon was still bulky to use and the ammunition suffered from reliability problems. The United States Army issued M202s as needed, with each rifle company's headquarters being authorized a single launcher, generally issued as one per rifle platoon.

Squad-sized troop formation: 500 meters.

Weapons position or stationary vehicle: 200 meters.

The M202A1 was rated as having a 50% chance of hit against the following targets at the noted ranges, assuming all four rockets were fired at the same time: Marines prepare to test-fire an M202 in South Vietnam, 1970 It is loaded with a clip which holds a set of four rockets together, which is inserted into the rear of the launcher and can be pushed past the launching position to enable the launcher to be carried while loaded more easily. The weapon is meant to be fired from the right shoulder, and can be fired from either a standing, crouching, or prone position. A crowd control agent round using CS gas, the XM96, was trialed, but never entered service.

The light and heat emission is very intense and can produce skin burns from some (close) distance without direct contact with the flame, by thermal radiation alone. It burns 'white hot' because of the aluminum, much hotter than gasoline or napalm. TEA, an organometallic compound, is pyrophoric and burns spontaneously at temperatures of 1600 ☌ (2912 ☏) when exposed to air. TPA is triethylaluminum (TEA) thickened with polyisobutylene, in the presence of n-hexane, preventing spontaneous combustion after the warhead rupture. The substance, often mistaken for napalm, is in fact TPA (thickened pyrophoric agent). The M-74 rockets are equipped with M235 warheads, containing approximately 1.34 pounds (610 g) of an incendiary agent. The M202A1 features four tubes that can load 66 mm incendiary rockets. The XM202 prototype launcher was tested in the Vietnam War, as part of the XM191 system.

The M202 FLASH ('Flame Assault Shoulder') is an American rocket launcher manufactured by Northrop Corporation, designed to replace the World War II–vintage flamethrowers (such as the M1 and the M2) that remained the military's standard incendiary devices well into the 1980s.
