TRACKINGThe crew executed the TOW tracking exercise in conjunction with the 25-mm and7.62-mm tracking exercises. Evaluators assessed crewmembers on their ability to movethe TOW crosshair along a predetermined path. They evaluated this exercise the sameway they did the 25-mm and 7.62-mm tracking exercises.7-12. COFT TRAININGTOW COFT training allows crews to apply what they have learned during preliminarygunnery training. Crews must acquire, engage, track, and destroy threat-armored targetswithin the simulated environment of the COFT. The task, conditions, and standards forthese exercises are in the HB 23-1 series of instructor handbooks for the Bradley COFT.7-13. BATS TRAININGThe BATS trains and sustains the crew's ability to perform critical M2A3/M3A3direct-fire-engagement tasks. The BATS training program is based on gunnery doctrine.For realistic training and evaluation, the BATS simulates gunnery and combatenvironments. The commander can structure BATS training around the unit's METL.Together, these factors make BATS simulated fire seem identical to real live fire.To design an exercise based on the crew's training needs, the I/O selects "Special-PurposeExercise Matrix," then "Exercise by Content."Section III. STINGER VEHICLE-MOUNTED LAUNCHERThe SVML tasks teach Linebacker crewmen the skills they need to operate the Stingersubsystem and engage and destroy aerial targets. The crew must complete SVML trainingwithin three months of gunnery training.7-14. RAISE THE STINGER LAUNCHERTo raise the STINGER launcher--a. Task. Raise the Stinger launcher.b. Conditions.
