Individual Weapons Qualification Individual Weapons Qualification teaches the trainee the operation, care, and maintenance of his closest friendgthe rifie. It develops in the soldier the confidence, will, knowl- edge and skill required to use his rifle effectively in a combat situation. In the opening phases of Weapons Qualification, the trainee is instructed in the history and development of the rifle, from the earliest blunderbusses to the modern day weapons. He is taught the various methods of maintenance, assembly, and disassembly. Then comes marksmanship training. After zeroing his individual weapon, the trainee begins to fire at pop-up targets on a combat range. This gives him the confidence in himself to be able to detect a target, then score a hit almost im- rnediately. He learns the different shooting positions, prone, standing, kneeling, all the ways to give him a better view of the target. Finally, he Hnds out exactly how much knowledge of marksmanship he has absorbed when he fires for record at the termination of his Individual Weapons Qualification instruction. fi.
