dwg i MEM --- M-16 The rifle becomes the soldier's tool in a profession of arms and like any other profession the use of the tool must be second nature. Basic Rifle Marksmanship provides the basis of training and begins on the 25 meter range where they learn to sight and aim, allowing for variation in the wind, terrain, and distance: they learn to analyze their own firing actions and judge their performance. Then they are ready to move on to more advanced rifle training.
