I'm Staff Sergeant Christopher Paul. I'm with Legion Company, first battalion, 503rd Infantry, 173rd Airborne Brigade stationed at Kassarma, Italy in Vichenza, Italy. So we're out here at Count Manicio training through the Master Martian ship course, working with Sergeant Man and Sergeant Young to go over the new qualification that's being put in by the Army. We're out here training with the with our M4s on this pop-up range here at Count Manicio. The pop-up targets give us the advantage of actually being able to focus on targets at distance versus some of our other ranges which are indoor or just 25 meters. So we have the advantage of actually getting to hone our skills with our rifles at range. So this Martian ship training is developing us as coaches showing us through the different shooting positions things that we need to focus on so that we can enable greater accuracy and lethality of the soldier. So for example we have in the prone position you want to make sure guys are nice and low to the ground they're centered in line behind their rifle to reduce recoil and absorb it. They're in a relaxed position to reduce muscle strain. Some of the key points for the kneeling position they're centered over their body they're not leaned out to one side. They have their non-firing hand all the way out on the rail of their rifle to reduce some of the wobble. A few points in the standing position is once again they're not leaned out too far to one side or the other they're generally centered and relaxed. Focusing on these things increases the shooter's ability to hit targets at distance which is massively important for our job. If we can't hit the targets then we're not really doing any good. This training is important for the US soldier because we're learning how to properly coach guys on the range we're changing the mindset of how to coach which would develop better shooters and increased lethality for the soldiers.
