FM 3-22.1 (23-1)CHAPTER 11Air Defense Advanced TablesThis chapter identifies the gunnery target presentations required tosupport collective tasks. Units determine specific threat target types andengagement distances. ARTEP MTPs 44-177-14 and -15, Chapters 9,discuss evaluation procedures and standards.Before, training revolved around the squad in a nontacticalenvironment. Now, advanced gunnery tables link directly to platoon andsquad operations IAW FM 44-43, ARTEP MTPs 44-177-14 and -15, andthe combat drills in ARTEP 44-177-14-Drill. Each task supports thecommander based on his unit's METL. Gunnery events progress frompreliminary to device to live fire.The advanced tables in this chapter, which integrate tactical andgunnery tasks, give the commander the opportunity to evaluate his platoonon its ability to execute tactical and gunnery tasks (Figure 11-1).Specifically, he evaluates each platoon's collective ability to shoot, move,and communicate. He uses air-defense sensor systems to help crewsacquire and identify friendly and hostile aerial targets. He can use theguidelines and procedures in this chapter to establish device-basedgunnery exercises.The advanced gunnery exercises in this chapter and in the MTP set thestandards for training and evaluation. They also allow battalioncommanders to tailor engagements based on particular contingencymissions and training emphasis.Air Defense Advanced Gunnery TablesPageBradley Table IXA, Section Practice.................................. 11-7Bradley Table XA, Section Qualification ............................ 11-7Linebacker Table IXA, Section Practice ............................ 11-7Linebacker Table XA, Section Qualification....................... 11-7Figure 11-1.

Linebacker or BSFVsection practice is a building block for section qualification. Both exercises are fullyresourced with ammunition. However, other training resource constraints may prohibitfiring section practice as prescribed. Section qualification must follow the guidelines andstandards provided in this chapter and in Chapter 9. Figure 11-2, page 11-2, shows theADA training strategy.a. Advanced gunnery tables incorporate at least eight collective tasks, the first fiveof which are mandatory.b. The S3 identifies three additional collective tasks to support the unit METL, thendevelops an OPORD to support the mission.11-1
