FM 3-22.1(1) M2A2 ODS and Below.• One day AP- and one night AP-type target at 800 meters or less.• One day AP- and one night AP-type target at 1,400 meters and beyond.(2) M2A3 Bradleys.• One day AP- and one night AP-type target at 800 meters or less.• One day AP- and one night AP-type target at 1,600 meters and beyond.(3) Lateral Dispersion for M2A3 or M3A3 Bradleys. Each of the following musthave at least 14 degrees dispersion between targets, not to include the commander'sengagement (rule of thumb, 25 meters dispersion for each 100 meters). This provides atleast one target outside the IBAS's WFOV during a multiple-target engagement:• One-day multiple engagement.• One-night multiple engagement.h. BTs I, II, and V through VIII must each include--• One engagement under digital conditions in the day phase.• One engagement under digital conditions in the night phase.i. All defensive engagements begin with the firing vehicle in the turret-defiladeposition and then move to a hull-defilade position to engage. This does not apply toStinger and 25-mm aerial engagements. On ranges that prohibit this, or that have nodefilade positions, units use simulated positions. Vehicles must move at least one vehiclelength in any of these positions.8-22. TARGETRYAll gunnery qualification tables must use full-scale targets.a. All ranges and targets must comply with TC 25-8.b. When a target array includes multiple targets, the trainer exposes themsimultaneously to test the crew's mastery of proper engagement techniques. For the A3hunter-killer engagement, the third target is not read into the scenario. It is presented15 to 20 seconds after target lock of the initial target(s) (Section IV). The purpose of thistask is to have the commander use his CIV to locate and identify targets at the same timethat the gunner engages other targets.c. For offensive and retrograde engagements, total target-exposure time is set usingthe BFV exposure-timing matrix (Figures 8-5 through 8-10, pages 8-5 through 8-10). Themaster gunner uses the individual target's conditions and range to determine that target'sexposure time.d. Target exposure time begins when the target is fully exposed. Total targetexposuretime does not include target lift time.e. For defensive engagements, total target exposure time for all targets is 50seconds. Figure 8-4 helps in establishing the armored engagement exposure time.However, the BFV cannot remain exposed beyond the BFV exposure-timing matrixes inthis chapter.f. Coax machine gun point-type targets and engagements are defined as--(1) Rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) or ATGM team targets, which include threeE-type silhouettes placed on line or in a wedge formation. They must not be more than5 meters apart or 10 meters deep.8-32
