PURPOSE OF GUNNERY TABLESThe scout section gunnery tables train and evaluate Bradley-equipped scout sections.These gunnery tables test the scout section's ability to conduct reconnaissance andsecurity missions and to engage stationary and moving targets. In any tactical scenario,leaders focus on the scout's primary mission of collecting and reporting information. Thecommander must also evaluate the scout's ability to use his combat resources (direct- andindirect-fire assets) effectively, while remaining undetected on the battlefield.a. The commander can use the example scenarios in this paragraph to design hisown tables, depending on resources available and the unit's training needs. Thisflexibility ensures that each unit receives the training it needs for its scout section tofunction effectively.b.
