Move - shoot - put rounds on the target. The school solution is to pick those that best represent ones in use by US, allied and enemy forces, then specific examples among them to illustrate the different operational systems such as gas tappets, gas direct, manual pump, etc.
The long laundry list of small arms includes commonly encountered pistols, submachine guns, assault, battle and sniper rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers. Weapons and Ammunition The interesting and far-reaching question of where the foreign weapons and ammunition come from was sent by public affairs up the chain of command. SAR was told that foreign weapons procurement is based on the needs and requirements from units throughout the global theater of operations.
Once a need has been identified, then an approved program of instruction is developed to support training while a request is processed through procurement channels. Many among us have wondered about all those mountains of foreign weapons and ammunition captured in combat. Instead of torching, crushing or blowing them up, we asked if they could be brought back for training use to reduce expenses.
The official answer makes sense on many levels including factoring the inherent dangers of high explosive ordnance and the devices that hurl them. All ammo and weapons must go through testing and meet safety certification requirements and then be repackaged for shipping to the designated ASP.
The time and cost involved usually makes it cost prohibitive. Performance-Oriented Training Each block of instruction is followed by a test, often a combination of hands-on and written.
For light weapons, they teach all the systems of operation and show key examples of pistols, rifles, and machine guns within each system. There is ample time for practical exercise with each before the hands-on examination including assembly and disassembly, changing barrels, crew drills, and employment.
This is a timed exercise involving key weapons and their disassembly, assembly, loading, dry firing, and other mechanical operations. They believe that self-induced stress is the biggest factor since most of the same students do fine in the practical exercises.
The characteristics part of this exam is done verbally. An instructor will hold up different guns picked at random and ask what it is, cyclic rate, system of operation, caliber and feed. Students are also tested on their ability to successfully diagnose and correct operating deficiencies; misfiring, failure to feed, failure to extract, etc.
Instruction and practical exercises with antitank and antiaircraft systems follow a similar pattern. Baugher believes this is because many of the students have never had experience with the process. The instruction begins in a logical progression from drills and live fire with 60 through mm mortars, then adjusting fire as a Forward Observer.
But attention to detail in all the precise math and geometry throws some off. Most will get their gear and fall in with a team that is already deployed to a war zone. The Way Ahead Baugher and his battle-hardened instructors would like to see additional changes to the Bravo course. Key among these are integration of high-tech simulators for appropriate weapons as well as FO and close air support training, more range time with all weapons, and more real-world type training with GMV gun trucks.
The Wall SAR asked Baugher if there anything not officially part of the 18 Bravo course that he would encourage the students to see. Detailed information on eligibility requirements is available at www. In addition, an exciting direct enlistment program is available for qualified young men in civilian life.

As a minimum, task summaries include information the Soldier must know and the skills he must perform to standard for each task.
These summaries are, in effect, standardized training objectives that ensure Soldiers do not have to relearn a task upon assignment to a new unit. The covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing. The binding is coil binding, allowing easy flipping of pages and page rotation, can lay flat on table opened wide.
