COMBAT CRITICAL TASKS AND SAMPLE TACTICAL

TASKS

• TO MAINTAIN TACTICAL EMPHASIS THROUGHOUT THE SCOUT SECTION TABLES, THERE ARE NINE MANDATORY COMBAT CRITICAL TASKS AND A MINIMUM OF THREE COMMANDER-SELECTED TASKS IN EACH TABLE ( see Figure 10-1, pg.. 10-2 FM 3-22.1 ).

11

REQUIRED COMBAT‑CRITICAL ACTIONS EXAMPLE TACTICAL TASKS

1. Execute Actions on Contact. Coordinate with adjacent platoon-size elements.

2. Collect/Report Information‑-SALUTE. Perform an area reconnaissance.

3. Call for/adjust Indirect Fire. Perform a route reconnaissance.

EVALUATION PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS

• EVALUATORS WILL USE THE PERFORMANCE CHECKLISTS IN ARTEP 17-57-10 MTP TO EVALUATE SCOUT SECTIONS ON TACTICS. IF A COMMANDER SELECTS TACTICAL TASKS NOT LISTED , HE MUST DEVELOP A PERFORMANCE CHECKLIST FOR EACH TASK AND BASE EACH CHECKLIST ON ARTEP 17-57-10 MTP.

13

• SECTIONS TRAIN AND PRACTICE THE SKILLS NORMALLY PERFORMED IN COMBAT.

• EVALUATORS USE THE AFTER ACTION REVIEWS TO CRITIQUE SECTIONS UPON COMPLETION OF THE TABLES.

• CREW DUTIES ARE NOT RATED ON THESE TABLES; HOWEVER, A SECTION IS PENALIZED IF AN INDIVIDUAL SCOUT SQUAD FAILS TO PERFORM SOUND TACTICAL MANEUVERING OR ACHIEVE TARGET HITS.

14

EVALUATION PROCEDURES AND STANDARDS

15

TIMING PROCEDURES

START TIME:

NOTE: DEPENDING ON THE TACTICAL SCENARIO, TARGET EXPOSURE TIMES SHOULD ALLOW THE TEAM TO REPORT AND DETERMINE THE MOST DESIRABLE COURSE OF ACTION (THAT IS, INDIRECT FIRE).

• WHEN THE FIRST SECTION VEHICLE, ON THE MOVE, IS EXPOSED TO THE THREAT

• WHEN THE FIRST SECTION VEHICLE, IN THE DEFENSE, STOPS IN A HULL-DOWN POSITION OR FIRES THE FIRST ROUND.

STOP TIME:

16

TIMING PROCEDURES

• THE SECTION LEADER ANNOUNCES CEASE FIRE, AND ALL SECTION VEHICLES HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEFILADE POSITION

• ALL TARGETS ARE KILLED

• ALL SECTION VEHICLES RETURN TO DEFILADE POSITIONS FOR THE FINAL TIME.

ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE C

ACTION: LIST THE ALIBIS CRITERIA FOR CAV SECTION GUNNERY.


STANDARDS: THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO LIST THE ALIBIS CRITERIA FOR CAV SECTION GUNNERY IAW FM 3-22.1.

17

18

ALIBI CRITERIA.( Chapter 8) ADDRESSES ALIBI CRITERIA. NO OTHER ALIBI CRITERIA CAN BE USED.

ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE D

ACTION: EXPLAIN THE SCORING SYSTEM FOR CAV SECTION GUNNERY.


STANDARDS: THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE SCORING SYSTEM FOR CAV SECTION GUNNERY IAW FM 3-22.1.

19

EVALUATION STANDARDS

TERRAIN, WEATHER, AND DISTANCE BETWEEN THE ENGAGEMENTS WILL DICTATE THE COURSE TIME. TACTICAL TASKS CAN BE CONDUCTED AT A NEARBY TRAINING AREA AND COMBINED WITH THE GUNNERY PORTION IF THE RANGE AREAS ARE NOT EXTENSIVE ENOUGH TO ALLOW TACTICAL MANEUVERING; HOWEVER, THIS IS AN EXCEPTION. THE COMMANDER SHOULD INTEGRATE BOTH PHASES TO MAXIMIZE THE TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE TABLES

20

21

EVALUATION STANDARDS

• THE SECTION MUST ACHIEVE, AS A MINIMUM, A GO ON 70 PERCENT OF THE TACTICAL TASKS - EQUIVALENT TO 420 POINTS ON EACH TABLE

• THE SECTION MUST ACHIEVE, AS A MINIMUM, A GO ON 70 PERCENT OF THE GUNNERY TASKS - EQUIVALENT TO 280 POINTS ON EACH TABLE

SCORING PROCEDURES

EACH TABLE IS WORTH 1,000 POINTS

TACTICAL 60% 600 POINTS 420 POINTS

GUNNERY 40% 400 POINTS 280 POINTS

PHASE % POSSIBLE POINTS MINIMUM

23

TACTICS EVALUATION ‑‑ PERCENTAGE SCOREDivide the number of tactical tasks passed (TP) by the number of tactical tasks evaluated (TE). Multiply the result by 100.

Example: If (TP) = 29 and (TE) = 31, then (29 ÷ 31 = .94) X 100 = 94%TACTICS EVALUATION ‑‑ POINTS EARNEDDivide the number of tactical tasks passed (TP) by the number of tactical tasks evaluated (TE). Multiply the result by 600 (possible tactical points).

Example: If (TP) = 29 and (TE) = 31, then (29 ÷ 31 = .94) X 600 = 564The resulting number equals the number of points awarded for the TACTICAL evaluation of the tables.

24

GUNNERY EVALUATION

TO DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF GUNNERY POINTS AWARDED, THE EVALUATOR USES THE FORMULA. THE FORMULA CAN BE USED FOR ALL TARGET PRESENTATIONS TO INCLUDE BFV-MOUNTED WEAPONS, INDIRECT FIRE, AND DISMOUNTED ENGAGEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ESTABLISHED DESTRUCTION CRITERIA FOR EACH WEAPON SYSTEM.

GUNNERY EVALUATION ‑‑ PERCENTAGE SCORE Divide the number of targets destroyed (GD) by the number of targets presented (GP) and multiply the result by 100.

Example: If (GD) = 40 and (GP) = 48, then (40 ÷ 48 = .83) X 100 = 83%GUNNERY EVALUATION ‑‑ POINTS EARNEDDivide the number of targets destroyed (GD) by the number of targets presented (GP) and multiply the result by 400 (possible gunnery points).

Example: If (GD) = 40 and (GP) = 48, then (40 ÷ 48 = .83) X 400 = 332The resulting number equals the number of points awarded for the gunnery evaluation of the tables.
