Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE ACTION: Construct a Range Overlay CONDITIONS: Given 1:25,000, scaled map, straight edge, grid coordinate scale, map ruler, tracing paper, and mechanical pencil. STANDARDS: The student must construct a Range Overlay By plotting all Targets, Firing Positions and Left and Right Limits accurately to within 20 meters using 8 Digit grid Coordinates, within 75 minutes.

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE:1 ACTION: Find Land CONDITION : In a classroom environment. STANDARD: Students must recognize considerations to resource land.

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE Steps to Finding land 1.Training area 2.Size of land for specific training 3.Usage and type of Ammunition and Pyro 4.Airspace 5.Interference with other training areas 6.Engineer assets 7.Impact area 8.Terrain analysis 9.Distance X 10.2 mils of Backstop for vehicles equipped with LRF

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE:2 ACTION: Terrain Analysis CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment. STANDARDS: The student will construct a Terrain analysis.

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE SLIDE OF TERRAIN ANALYSIS

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE Terrain analysis WHY DO ONE? 1. To view a piece of terrain from 2 known points as seen from the side. 2. To identify terrain changes to a relative scale 3. Aid in range development and safety investigations 4. Aid in proper target placement

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE:3 ACTION: Determine 15 Degree elevation of weapon system using terrain analysis CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given a terrain analysis. STANDARD: The student will determine 15 degree elevation of weapon systems.

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE Terrain analysis to determine elevation 1.Identify the start and end point of your training facility. 2. Draw a straight line on the map. 3. Using graph paper, identify the major changes in contour level ie.. Hilltops, ridges and low ground. 4. Connect the dots. 5. Shade in the high and low elevation areas.

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE D etermine 15 degree elevation of weapon system using graph paper. 1.Using your graph paper- determine target placement due to safety considerations As well as a. If Target exceeds 15 degrees b. Proper backstop for projectiles c. Proper backstop for LRF d. Identify impact area

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE:4 ACTION: Determine 2 mils of backstop CONDITION: In a classroom environment. Standards: The student must gain the knowledge of how to obtain 2 mils of backstop.

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE Determine 2 mils of backstop for vehicles with LRF. 1.Backstop is used for an accurate return from the Laser Range Finder. 2.It is also used for SAFETY!!!! 3.M1 Tanks do not have Eye safe capability and this is another consideration that must be addressed. 4.To ensure that the Backstop is 2 mils- You can use the FT 25-A-2, or use the Bradley reticle to check this. 5.Put the Bradley into EACH BP intended for firing and check EACH target.

Range Overlay MASTER GUNNER COURSE ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE:5 ACTION: Construct a Range Overlay CONDITIONS: In a classroom environment, given a straight edge, grid coordinate scale, map, ruler, tracing paper, bar compass, and two #2 pencils. STANDARDS: Within 75 minutes construct a range. All targets, firing positions, left and right limits must be plotted accurately within 20 meters.
