14. User Requirement & Feedback
Fire and Maneuver training consists of one group of soldiers creating suppressive fire with 40 mm training grenades while a second group of soldiers advances towards the enemy position.
"Typically soldiers could not conduct fire and maneuver training due to the safety risks. The current training round presents this risk because it contains a fuze and energetics.
"The new training rounds allows soldiers to achieve better training capability by conducting fire and maneuvers during training, as opposed to training in a static position. The energetic has been removed from the cartridge so that even if it did not function downrange, and someone stepped on it or picked it up, it would not hurt them."
