FM 3-22.111-2. LIVE-FIRE REQUIREMENTSThe live-fire collective tasks are conducted on a range complex that provides the bestavailable target and maneuver area. These requirements apply to both practice andqualification live-fire tables. Aerial targets have priority over ground targets.a. Range. Section practice and qualification may be conducted on the same range.However, targets will not be presented in the same sequence.b. Multiple, Simultaneous Targets. When the target array consists of more thanone target, simultaneous target exposure must be used. Simultaneous target exposureoccurs when all targets for the task are presented at the same time, requiring crews to useproper engagement techniques.c. Realistic Practice. Targets should represent the actual threat arrays a sectioncould encounter on the battlefield. Sections must encounter a realistic array of single andmultiple ground and aerial targets. Leaders may add friendly targets to emphasize theimportance of training to prevent fratricide.d. Minimum Standards. Each squad in the section must, at a minimum, execute thefollowing tasks:(1) Bradley Table XA Tasks.• Three dismounted Stinger engagements.• Two 25-mm aerial engagements.• One 7.62-mm coaxial engagement.• One ground engagement conducted using the auxiliary sight.• Five 25-mm ground engagements.• One engagement conducted under nuclear, biological, or chemical conditions.(2) Linebacker Table X Tasks.• Three standard vehicle-mounted launcher engagements.• One 25-mm aerial engagement.• One dismounted Stinger engagement.• Five 25-mm ground engagements.• Three 7.62-mm coaxial engagements.• One ground engagement using the auxiliary sight.• One engagement under nuclear, biological, or chemical conditions.11-3. TARGETRYGround targets will be constructed IAW TC 25-8. Targets should also have signaturedevices to simulate enemy fire. Targets should also have thermal signatures. Aerialtargets are the Su-25 Frogfoot and the Mi-24 Hind-D autogyro RPVTSs. Typical speedsare between 45 and 70 mph for rotary-wing aircraft and between 45 and 100 mph forfixed-wing aircraft. Three requirements support target engagements. The only acceptableaerial target is the one-fifth-scale target.a. For device gunnery, one-fifth scale targets need PGS retroreflectors and smoke.b. For Stinger and 25-mm live aerial engagements, targets need infrared (IR) sourceand miss-distance indicator (MDI) scoring systems.c. For each of the following weapons, place targets at the stated ranges:• 25-mm targets--500 to 1,600 meters.• Coax targets--300 to 700 meters.• Aerial targets--1,000 to 5,000 meters.11-3
