Bradley Crew Evaluator

Scope

6

Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter 3, FM 25-101 requires leaders to evaluate collective training in the TPU format, so this section follows that doctrine. The evaluator observes each crew's teamwork, specifically in the areas of coordination, weapons system proficiency, and marksmanship. He evaluates the crew as "T" (trained), "P" (practice needed), or "U" (untrained), based on the GOs and NO GOs they receive.

MATRIX CONDITIONS EXAMPLE

One BMP moving, engaging a moving BFV, under NBC conditions

The three conditions listed above cause a threat target to take more time placing the “Killing Burst” on a BFV. Thus, the BFV crew has more time to place their own “Killing Burst” on the threat target.

NOTE: Crews do not receive more time to engage threat targets with the Auxiliary sight or in the manual mode because these conditions do not affect the threat’s ability to engage YOU.

BFV EXPOSURE / MATRIX CONDITIONS EXAMPLE

A crew occupying a stationary firing position, engages a moving BMP at 1200 meters. It is night, and the crew is firing in a chemically contaminated area.

Moving BMP = 1 ConditionNBC environment = 1 Condition

The BCE will use the BFV exposure to light armored / unarmored target matrix (BMP), move down the left hand column until he finds 1200 meters, and then move to the right until 1200 meters intersects with 2 conditions (moving BMP / NBC environment). The crew can be exposed to the BMP no longer than 24 seconds.

Enabling Learning Objective 6

ACTION: Explain offensive/ retrograde timing procedures.

CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment given a writing instrument, note paper, and FM3-22-1.

STANDARDS: The student must gain the knowledge so that he can explain offensive/retrograde timing procedures.

30

Page 31: CREW GUNNERY EVALUATION 2. Bradley Crew Evaluator Scope 6 Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter

TIMING PROCEDURES

Exposure time is the time the firing vehicle is exposed to any threat target(s).

Timing procedures differ based on BFV posture.

• Offensive / Retrograde timing procedures

• Defensive timing procedures - Reset timing

31

Page 32: CREW GUNNERY EVALUATION 2. Bradley Crew Evaluator Scope 6 Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter

OFFENSIVE TIMING PROCEDURES

TIME STARTS: When the target or simultaneous targets are fully exposed (Target Lock) or the first round is fired (whichever occurs first).

TIME STOPS: For each target in an engagement when the target is killed or that individual target’s exposure time has expired.

TIME RESTARTS: Time restarts when the local air defense warning “DYNAMITE” “ “ sounds (aerial engagements only).

TIME STOPS AGAIN: Time stops when the launcher superelevates again.(stinger engagements only)

32

Page 33: CREW GUNNERY EVALUATION 2. Bradley Crew Evaluator Scope 6 Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter

OFFENSIVE TIMING PROCEDURES

EXAMPLE

Example: A BFV in the offense engages a stationary BMP at 1400 meters and an RPG team at 400 meters. The BFV has 23 seconds to engage and destroy the BMP (one condition). The BFV engages and destroys the BMP in 15 seconds and then shifts onto the RPG team, However, the range computer at 10 seconds dropped the RPG team target. Because the crew failed to destroy the RPG team, they are a NO-GO IAW the Crew Gunnery Task Standards.

Rationale: Although the crew engaged and destroyed the BMP well within the time allocated, they were considered “Hit” by the RPG team. The crew exceeded the RPG team’s threat time to hit (BFV exposure to dismounted troops timing matrix) of 10seconds. When the BFV engages multiple targets, it is exposed to both, thus BFV exposure time begins for both targets. 33

STANDARDS: The student must gain the knowledge so that he can list and explain the defensive timing procedures IAW FM3-22 .1

34

Page 35: CREW GUNNERY EVALUATION 2. Bradley Crew Evaluator Scope 6 Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter

DEFENSIVE TIMING PROCEDURES

TIME STARTS WHEN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING OCCURS:

• A crew fires the first round.

• All targets are fully exposed (target lock) and the firing vehicle is stopped in a hull defilade position.

TIME STOPS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL TARGET DURING AN ENGAGEMENT IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS OCCURS:

• During or after an engagement, the firing vehicle BEGINS to move back into a turret-defilade position

• The target is killed.

• Target Exposure time has expired.

35

Page 36: CREW GUNNERY EVALUATION 2. Bradley Crew Evaluator Scope 6 Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter

Coax Area Engagements. In a defensive engagement, the firing BFV starts in the turret defilade, then moves into hull defilade to engage coax area targets.

(1) Time Stops. For coax area engagements, time stops when one IRETS target is killed. The crew suppresses the target area ("Z" pattern) until they kill one target.

(2) Time Resets. Time resets before the firing vehicle returns to the hull-defilade position.

Linebacker or Bradley Stinger Fighting Vehicle. Linebacker or BSFV may engage aerial targets from the turret-defilade position. Linebacker crews use slew-to-cue function on aerial engagements.

(1) Time Starts. Time starts when the local air-defense warning "DYNAMITE-DYNAMITE" sounds (aerial engagements only).

(2) Time Stops Again. Time stops when the launcher superelevates (Stinger engagement only).

TIME RESET

• Used in defensive engagements only

• BFV exposure time is “Reset” before the BFV returns to a hull defilade position.

• Time reset does NOT reset target exposure time.

38

Page 39: CREW GUNNERY EVALUATION 2. Bradley Crew Evaluator Scope 6 Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter

TIME RESET TIMING PROCEDURES

EXAMPLE

Example: A BFV in the defense engages a moving BMP at 1200 meters. The BFV has 21 seconds to engage and destroy the BMP (one condition). The BFV moves from a turret defilade position to a hull defilade position (BFV exposure time starts). The BFV engages but fails to destroy the BMP and remained exposed for 20 seconds. The BFV returns to a turret defilade position, then back into a hull defilade position and engages and destroys the BMP in 6 seconds. The crew receives a GO IAW the Crew Gunnery Task Standards.

Rationale: ?

CREW SCORESHEET

Evaluators use DA Form 7354-R to record the results of gunnery engagements. When annotating results on these forms, evaluators must print all entries accurately and legibly. The instructions for completing the score sheet are on the reverse side. Figure 8-1 shows an example completed score sheet. The evaluator may copy the blank, reproducible form from the back of this manual onto 8 1/2 by 11-inch paper. He may also download it from www.usapa.army.mil or copy it from the Army Electronic Library (AEL) CD-ROM (EM0001). The back of the form explains how to complete it.

BRADLEY CREW EVALUATOR

The BCE assesses Bradley crew duties for device and crew gunnery (Chapter 6, Section V). He also enforces safety requirements, instructs nonqualification exercises, and evaluates qualification exercises. Finally, he evaluates and rates the crew and conducts an AAR.

a. Prerequisites. A soldier must have at least a rank of sergeant (E5) with an MOS of 11B, 12B, 13F, 14R, or 19D, and must have prior gunnery experience on the specific subject he will evaluate before he attends a BCE certification course.

b. Responsibilities. Master gunners are gunnery subject matter experts. They develop and conduct BCE training.

(1) Division master gunners (enhanced and separate brigade master gunners) are responsible for monitoring the BCE training program and developing certification examinations.

(2) Battalion master gunners are responsible for executing the BCE training program.

 

Page 73: CREW GUNNERY EVALUATION 2. Bradley Crew Evaluator Scope 6 Evaluators need clear standards to measure the crew's proficiency in Bradley gunnery. Chapter

CERTIFICATION

Certification is initial training for BCEs. BCEs must certify within 90 days of any live-fire exercise (120 days for RC). Certification consists of--

a. A 40-hour BCE training program.

b. Passing a written examination with at least 40 questions. The soldier must achieve a 90 percent score to pass. The certification examination must include at least two questions in each of the following areas:

(1) Range safety (AR 385-63 and local range SOPs).

(2) Fire commands (Chapter 6, Section IV).

(3) Engagement procedures (Chapter 6).

(4) Offensive BFV-timing procedures (Section I).

(5) Defensive BFV-timing procedures (Section I).

(6) Multiple target-timing procedures (Section I).

(7) BFV exposure-timing matrixes (Section I).

(8) Scoring procedures for multiple-target engagements (Section I).

(9) After-action review procedures (Section III).

(10) Refires and alibis (Section I).73

(11) Score sheets.

(12) Threat-based, target-exposure-timing matrixes (Section V).

(13) For M2A3 and M3A3 ODS appliqué units, BCEs must be FBCB2 qualified.

c. A hands-on evaluation requires BCEs to evaluate a crew firing 10 engagements using a videotape or COFT. The BCEs must also conduct an AAR in accordance with Section III.

(1) During a COFT session, BCEs use the briefing monitor to evaluate the firing crew. This does not interfere with the COFT I/O or scheduled COFT training.

(2) BCEs use the same clocks and score sheets that they used during live-fire gunnery for the evaluation.

 

RECERTIFICATION

Recertification is refresher training for BCEs. Recertification consists of the certification examination and the hands-on evaluation. BCEs must recertify within the 90 days before a live-fire exercise (120 days for RC).

 

NOTE: The division master gunner develops the exam to certify or recertify BCEs.

SUSTAINMENT

Sustainment training ensures the BCE knows evaluation procedures. It ensures that the commander can find consistent, effective crew evaluators year-round. The BCE must evaluate four exercises a month, in the COFT, using the same type of clocks or timing boards and score sheets used in device and crew gunnery.
