BRM The development of the soldier's skills in the use of the Army's individual weapon depend entirely on the soldier's ability to apply the basic markmanship skills and principles taught and reinforced by the Drill Sergeant. Q l'f' t' F' ' The 25-meter range stressed the fundamentals of rifle firing, grounding the soldier in the basic skills of sighting and aiming. In Field Firing, soldiers encounter more complicated condi- tions. They learn different firing positions. They encounter the pop-up target - the dark silhouette which will become the measure of their firing skill. Placed at distances from 50 to 300 meters, the targets are centrally controlled to appear and disappear in varied times and sequences. As the training progresses, it becomes more difficultg the soldier at first knows the target sequenceg later he deals with surprise targets. The targets are ki1lable - when hit by a bullet, they fall automatically. This system adds interest and realism to the training and gives the soldier instant evidence of firing accuracy. It is the culmination of many hard hours of training and reinforcement. An exercise designed to test the soldier's ability to apply all previously taught skills and principles and engage targets effectively at various ranges. Depending on the number of targets scored as hits, the soldier is designated a sharpshooter, marksman or expert as indicated below. QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS 23-29 Target Hits ........................... Marksman 30-35 Target Hits ...................... Sharpshooter 36-40 Target Hits .................................. Expert
