Gunnery Training Requirements. All designated soldiers should be trained to standard IAW the combat techniques in Chapter 6 and the performance evaluations in Appendix C. Table 7-3. Example training frequency chart. Individual tasks must be integrated into collective training and rehearsals. To accomplish this, commanders analyze the collective tasks from their unit METL and the individual tasks that support the collective tasks.
Leaders use the training standards given in the appropriate manual for the individual tasks.
Some of the tasks identified may include engaging armored vehicles. When planning training, the trainer incorporates the training devices and aids for light antiarmor weapons into the unit's training. These add realism and allow him to properly evaluate the task being conducted. He must also identify deficiencies and correct them by retraining soldiers to use the selected weapons and their related training devices correctly. The success of the unit's light antiarmor training program depends on trainers who are well-trained, competent, and prepared to train soldiers.
