During introductory manipulation training, crewmembers learn about the turret-drive systems and the handstation. They learn how the turret responds to their use of the handstation in the power (normal and fast-turret) modes and how it responds in the manual mode. Manipulation combines eye-hand coordination and reinforcement training. The two types of manipulation include gun lay and tracking.

Conduct of the Exercise and Evaluation Procedures.

The gun-lay exercise will work in any area that measures at least 100 meters in depth and 50 meters in width.

Targets must accurately represent an enemy force. The recommended target model size is 1/35-scale; however, if a larger area is available, then larger targets may be used.

The scaled targets are placed at ranges IAW the combat range versus scaled range (Table 7‑1). Targets are numbered and lettered. Numbers must be visible to the naked eye; letters will only be visible in high magnification.

Page 43: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

The evaluator announces the target number to the BC. The BC lays the weapon on the target. The gunner announces "IDENTIFIED" and the letter of the target in response to fire commands.

The crewmember must complete the gun-lay exercise in both the power and manual modes, using the primary and auxiliary sights. The exercises progress in difficulty as the BC becomes more proficient.

ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE

ACTION: Conduct tracking exercise.

CONDITIONS: In a range environment, given a writing instrument, note paper, device equipped BFV, range training facility, FM 3-22.1 and a requirement to conduct tracking exercise.

STANDARDS: The student must gain the knowledge so that he correctly setup, conduct and score the tracking exercise.

Page 45: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

Action. Manipulate turret.Conditions. Given a fully operational BFV and tracking board (Figure 7‑2) placed at the proper tracking line distance, IAW Table 7‑2 (Bradley-to-target distance).Standards. The BC and gunner must negotiate each tracking line, keeping the 1‑mil aiming circle or TOW crosshair between the parallel tracking lines, within the time standards in Figure 7‑2. The reticle aiming point or crosshair must not move outside the parallel lines more than three times on each tracking exercise. The exercise is conducted by both the BC and gunner from their handstations and by the gunner in the manual mode using the 25-mm reticle and TOW crosshair.

Page 46: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

Conduct of the Exercise and Evaluation Procedures.

The tracking exercise will work in any area that can meet the Bradley-to-target distance (Table 7-2).

Evaluators assess each crewmember separately. He watches and evaluates the exercise through an available sight such as the commander's sight extension or the gunner's sight.

Page 47: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

Figure 7-3 shows an example format for a scoresheet used to record training and individual progress.

After a crewmember's proficiency increases, the evaluator has him use the advanced tracking pattern shown in Figure 7-4. Using this pattern requires the crewmember to manipulate the turret with all combinations of vertical and horizontal axes. Timing is based on the crew's previous performance of negotiating the pattern. This time is used as a standard for improvement.

Advanced Manipulation and Target-Acquisition Training.

Advanced manipulation and target-acquisition training builds on skills developed during the tracking exercise. For the first time, crews apply the target-acquisition process. The conduct of fire trainer (COFT) incorporates ten special-purpose exercises that help develop and reinforce the crew's ability to detect, identify, and track moving targets. Table 6‑3 shows the exercises, tasks, conditions, and standards for these exercises. The A3 BATS has four acquisition and manipulation exercises: search, detect, locate, and identify. The I/O inputs special purpose conditions to randomly generate an exercise based on the crew's training needs.

ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE

ACTION: Conduct direct fire adjustment exercise.

CONDITIONS: In a UCOFT environment, given FM 3-22.1, note-paper, writing instrument and the requirement to conduct direct fire adjustment exercise.

STANDARDS: The student must gain the knowledge so that he can correctly setup, conduct and score direct fire adjustment exercise.

Page 58: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

DIRECT-FIRE ADJUSTMENT EXERCISE

Direct-fire-adjustment exercises train the assigned BC and gunner in the fundamentals of direct-fire adjustment. These exercises require the gunner and BC to use methods of fire adjustment. An error induced into the fire-control system ensures a first‑round miss. Because the exercises are conducted in the COFT, improper range must be indexed before the crew begins the exercise.

Page 59: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

Action: Employ direct-fire adjustment techniques from a stationary and moving BFV against stationary and moving targets.

Conditions: Given a stationary and moving BFV (through COFT simulation).

Standards: Adjusts fire from a first‑round miss from both the BC's and gunner's positions, using both power and manual modes, and using the primary and auxiliary sights. Uses correct adjustment techniques. Hits target with the second round. To qualify on the exercise, crewmember must first qualify on each task.

Page 60: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

Conduct of the Exercise and Evaluation

Procedures. While using predetermined exercises, the I/O must ensure the crew uses no more than ten rounds for each five‑target task (two rounds for each target). They cannot offset the boresight knobs in the COFT unless they are actually boresighting. To induce an error into the system, the I/O must either rely on the crewmember being off in elevation or deflection or the BC to incorrectly estimate range. For exercises in the defense and when engaging stationary targets, crews index 600 meters to ensure a first-round miss. For moving BFV and moving target exercises, the crew indexes 1,200 meters.

BRADLEY RANGE CARD

A range card is a sketch or diagram of the terrain that a direct-fire weapon covers by fire. The range card (drawn on DA Form 5517‑R, the standard range card) shows possible target areas and terrain features plotted in relation to a firing position. The information on a range card is used to plan and control fire, to rapidly detect and engage targets, and to orient replacement personnel or units.

Page 63: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

  DESCRIPTION

The Bradley gunner normally prepares range cards for his vehicle. He prepares one for each primary, alternate, and supplemental position designated in the defense.

He also prepares one for any static position when enemy contact is possible, for example, a position in an assembly area.

A range card helps leaders plan and control fires, and it helps the crew acquire targets during limited visibility.

To prepare the range card, he must know the sectors of fire, target reference points, dead spaces, maximum engagement lines, and weapons reference points.

Page 64: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

DESCRIPTION CONT

Sectors of Fire. A sector of fire is a piece of the battlefield for which a gunner is responsible. He may have both a primary and a secondary sector of fire. Platoon leaders use sectors of fire to distribute fires across their area of responsibility.

Target Reference Points. Leaders designate natural or manmade terrain features as reference points. The gunner uses these reference points to acquire targets and to determine range during limited visibility. Predesignated TRPs must be visible to be useful as TRPs or indirect-fire targets. The leader should always designate at least one TRP that the gunner can see when using low magnification.

Page 65: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

DESCRIPTION CONT

Dead Space. Dead space is any area that the crew cannot observe or cover by direct-fire systems within the sector of fire. Leaders must identify all dead spaces within the sector of fire, so the BC and platoon leader can plan how to use fires, such as mortars.

Maximum Engagement Line. The depth of the sector seldom exceeds the maximum effective engagement range of the vehicle's weapons systems. It can be less, however, if objects prevent the gunner from engaging targets at the maximum effective engagement range. To help determine the distance to each MEL, the gunner or BC should use a map to make sure they show the MELs correctly on the range card. MEL identification helps reduce the amount of ammunition used in an engagement.

Page 66: PRELIMINARY GUNNERY TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Define the preliminary gunnery process. CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given FM 3- 22.1,note

DESCRIPTION CONT

Weapon Reference Point. The WRP is easy to recognize on the map. This terrain feature helps leaders plot the vehicle's position, and it helps replacement personnel find the vehicle.

TOW TRAINING

The TOW training program teaches the crew to engage, track, and destroy armored targets using the TOW missile system. They must complete this training, which consists of basic TOW gunnery tasks; tracking exercises; and specified COFT or BATS exercises within three months (four months for RC) before they fire live TOWs.
