FM 3-22.1the enemy force. The recommended target model size is 1/35-scale; however, if a largertraining area is available, then larger targets may be used.7-3. DIRECT-FIRE-ADJUSTMENT EXERCISESDirect-fire-adjustment exercises train the assigned BC and gunner in the fundamentals ofdirect-fire adjustment. These exercises require the gunner and BC to use methods of fireadjustment. An error induced into the fire-control system ensures a first-round miss.Because the exercises are conducted in the COFT, improper range must be indexedbefore the crew begins the exercise (Figures 7-5, 7-6, 7-7, and 7-8, pages 7-9 thru -12).a. Task. Employ direct-fire adjustment techniques from a stationary and movingBFV against stationary and moving targets.b. Conditions. Given a stationary and moving BFV (through COFT simulation).c. Standards. Adjusted fire from a first-round miss from both the BC's and gunner'spositions, using both power and manual modes, and using the primary and auxiliarysights. Used correct adjustment techniques. Hit target with the second round. To qualifyon the exercise, crewmember must have first qualified on each task.d. Conduct of the Exercise and Evaluation Procedures. While usingpredetermined exercises, the I/O must ensure that the crew uses no more than ten roundsfor each five-target task (two rounds for each target). The crew cannot offset the boresightknobs in the COFT unless they are actually boresighting (Appendix B). To induce anerror into the system, the I/O must either rely on the crewmember setting elevation ordeflection or the BC to incorrectly estimate range. For exercises in the defense, and whenengaging stationary targets, crews index 600 meters to ensure a first-round miss. Formoving BFV and moving target exercises, the crew indexes 1,200 meters.7-8
