Ok perhaps a Power armoured troop could carry it around with a few reloads. I
still question the logic of a tactical employment of a nuke by any grunt. SF

Using nightvison goggles to look at a russian soldier won't result in WWIII.
There is a bit of difference.

the.1 or.2 KT yield is way more powerfull than the truck bomb that blew up the
federal bldg a few years back. Davy Crockett was.01 and
.02.
and more powerful than that truck load of fertilizer and fuel oil.

Nuke his forces and expect worse back. Allowing a grunt to excalate things
isn't the best idea. I think it would still be subject to the
"_every_one_ takes a conf check" rule.
