Editor's Notes
Concept of Operations. This Operation will be conducted in IV phases: (1) planning, (2) individual training, (3) crew training and (4) recovery.
PHASE I: Begins with receipt of BDE OPORD for Gunnery and ends with the execution of individual training.
PHASE II: Begins with the execution of individual training and ends with crew training. Prerequisites for individual training are that the Gunner and TC will both be qualified on their weapon system. The individual gunnery phase trains individual crewmen and crew level skills utilizing classroom and home-station training. During this home station training, it incorporates tracking boards, gun laying exercises, and culminates with emergency operations in the Crew Critical Skills (GT I).
Individual Training. Weapons Qualification (10m, Day, Night) and Movement and Maneuver training.
Hands-on Crew Training. Gunnery Skills test (FM 3-20.21 Chp 14), Drivers Training (AR 600-55), PMCS training (appropriate TMs), Night Vision and Thermal Training (appropriate TMs), Simulators
Classroom Subjects. Basic Capabilities of weapon systems (FM 3-20.21 Chp 2, 3, 4), Fire Control Training, Zero Procedures (FM 3-20.21 Appendix C), Direct Fire engagement process (FM 3-20.21 Chp 8), Training devices (FM 3-20.21 Chp 11), FBCB2 Training
PHASE III: Begins with crew level training and ends with crew qualification. The crew gunnery phase develops crew skills from the individual gunnery phase and begins with a live-fire prerequisite, GT II, Crew Proficiency Course (CPC). After its successful completion, crews begin training using live ammunition from their respective vehicle while in defensive or offensive postures. The crew gunnery phase culminates with the Crew Qualification Course, GT VI.
GT II. Conducted on Range 109. GT II is a dry fire exercise where crews will practice engaging targets from three static battle positions and while moving between each battle position. 2 Crews will execute GT II at one time and engage targets as they bound forward. This will give crews a chance to execute crew drills for GT V and VI without having live ammunition.
GT III. Conducted on range 105. GT III is a static live fire to give gunners and crews a chance to engage targets ranging from 400-1500 meters.
GT V. Conducted on Range 145. GT V is crew practice for GT VI. Crews will conduct Operations similar to GT II except they will be firing from 4 battle positions and it will be conducted with live ammunition.
GT VI. Conducted on Range 143. GT VI is crew qualification and will be graded by VCEs outside of our BN over video and audio systems placed in the vehicle. Crews that pass GT VI will be able to move on to intermediate gunnery and execute CALFEX.
PHASE IV: Begins with Recovery and ends upon completion of all AARs.
