FM 3-22.1on the threat template and are not part of the direct-fire template. If mortars are used forillumination, and the task is evaluated according to the MTP, then the firing elementreceives credit for using fire support.c. Scenario Development. Evaluators and range personnel can use pyrotechnicsand simulators to simulate target effects and to cue certain events.(1) A target presentation should enforce fire distribution and control at the team,squad, section, or platoon levels. It should also trigger certain training events.(2) The scenario should include combat support (CS) and combat service support(CSS), and tasks like resupply or refuel on the move (ROM).(3) Vehicles and soldiers should have the MILES components that do not interferewith live-fire engagements. MILES allows evaluators to rapidly assess personnel andvehicle casualties. It also allows EBFV platoons to incorporate personnel- and vehicleevacuationprocedures into all collective and live-fire tasks.(4) Each soldier receives a MILES casualty card. Using these allows platoonevaluators to assess casualties during all collective- and live-fire tasks. However, vehiclecommanders, gunners, and drivers will receive return-to-duty (RTD) cards, which allowthem to move vehicles safely.(5) Each platoon evaluator needs a copy of the unit's SOP to implement during theevaluation.(6) The firing platoon's company commander should follow the platoon forcommand and control purposes. He can enhance the tactical scenario by simulating radiotraffic, to include issuing instructions and FRAGOs and receiving reports fromthe platoon.(7) Target presentation is based on the platoon's tactical employment. The platoonshould react to and not anticipate target presentations.d. Targetry. Units construct all targets IAW TC 25-8.(1) Chapter 8 discusses EBFV targetry requirements, including 25-mm targetry andcoax area and point targetry. Minimum target requirements by target type follow:• AP Point.............. 12• HE Area ................ 1• HE Point................ 9• Coax Area ........... 12• Coax Point............. 8• Infantry Targets... 50• TOW or Javelin..... 1(2) Engineer dismounted targets look exactly like BFV dismounted targets. RPG andATGM targets consist of three E-type silhouettes placed in line, in depth, or in a wedgeformation, at up to 5 meters apart or 10 meters in depth (Chapter 8). Trench-line targetsconsist of four to seven E-type silhouettes arranged realistically. These targets are placedup to 5 meters apart in an area no larger than 30 meters in width and 20 meters in depth.(3) The EBFV's target-exposure time varies, depending on the type of target and thepresentation. To determine exposure time, the master gunner must know engagementtype, target type, conditions, and distance to target.(4) Dismounted troop targets are exposed four times, for five seconds each time,at ten-second intervals.12-4
