FM 3-22.1Figure 7-4. Advanced manipulation-tracking line (tracking board).(5) Advanced Manipulation and Target-Acquisition Training. Advanced manipulationand target-acquisition training builds on skills developed during the trackingexercise. For the first time, crews apply the target-acquisition process. The conduct of firetrainer (COFT) incorporates ten special-purpose exercises that help develop and reinforcethe crew's ability to detect, identify, and track moving targets. The A3 BATS has fouracquisition and manipulation exercises: search, detect, locate, and identify. Unlike theCOFT, the BATS allows the I/O to input special-purpose conditions, for which the BATSthen randomly generates a customized exercise based on the crew's training needs.7-2. RANGE-DETERMINATION TRAININGDuring preliminary gunnery instruction, BCs and gunners learn the various techniques fordetermining range. During the range-determination exercise, the BC and gunner applysome of these techniques.a. Task. Determine range using common Bradley equipment.b. Conditions. Given a fully operational BFV, one set of M22 binoculars, and anexercise area with targets and known distances to the targets.c. Standards. Determine the range to targets within 100 meters.(1) Bradley Commander. Determine the range to four of five targets usingM22 binoculars.(2) Gunner. Determine range to four of five targets while using the primary sight, andalso determined four of five targets while using the auxiliary sight.d. Conduct of the Exercise and Evaluation Procedures. The range determinationexercise can be conducted at the gun-lay exercise site. Targets must accurately represent7-7
