FM 3-22.1Higher prepares an operation order, which provides all the tactical information andsupports the execution of the exercise, and gives it to the unit.(4) Commanders must include night and NBC conditions into scenarios. Soldiersshould wear the man-worn MILES laser detector harnesses equipment (not weaponstransmitters), which allows the controller to cause a near miss or to kill personnel fortactical errors or to induce stress. Combat service support (casualty evacuation andresupply) can be added to the scenario.b. Prerequisites. The crew must meet the following prerequisites before the LFX:(1) Each soldier must have qualified with his individual weapon (M16A2, M203,M240B, and M249) within the previous 6 months.(2) Dragon gunners must have certified with the Dragon within the past 3 months.(3) Squads must have completed a squad LFX within the past 6 months before aplatoon LFX.c. Standards. Each MTP operation and subtask has established maneuver andlive-fire standards. These standards are in ARTEP 7-8-MTP. Trainers use the T&EOs andthe rifle infantry penalty matrix from ARTEP 7-7J-MTP to evaluate the squad or platoon.Units are given a rating of trained, needs practice, or untrained. Squads and platoons mustachieve a trained or needs practice rating to receive a GO on the LFX.d. Example Squad LFX Scenario. The tasks cited in this paragraph are all fromARTEP 7-8-MTP. Figure F-16, page F-14, shows an example squad LFX task list.(1) The squad occupies a tactical assembly area (Task 7-3/4-1022) and prepares forcombat operations (Task 7-3/4-1046). The platoon leader gives an operation order inwhich the squad moves as part of the platoon (simulated) along a specified route in a rifleinfantry movement to contact.(2) The squad moves tactically (Task 7-3/4-1025), performs a passage of lines(Task 7-3/4-1040), and receives fire from a three-man enemy ATGM position. The squadexecutes the React to Contact battle drill (Battle Drill 2 from ARTEP 7-7J-Drill), thenassaults (Task 7-3/4-1001) to destroy the enemy (Figure F-15, Event 1).(3) The squad provides the platoon leader a SITREP and continues to move. Thesquad makes contact with an enemy combat reconnaissance outpost consisting of severaltroops and a reconnaissance BTR. The squad leader reports contact and the platoon leaderorders the squad to engage (Figure F-15, Event 2).(4) The platoon leader orders the squad to continue to move. The squad receives firefrom a bunker. The lead fire team provides suppressive fire while the trail fire teammaneuvers to assault the enemy position from the flank. The squad knocks out the bunker(Task 7-3/4-1012) and engages the enemy vehicle and troop targets in the enemy maindefensive belt (Figure F-15, Event 3).(5) The squad leader continues to clear the objective and the enemy withdraws. Thesquad consolidates and reorganizes on the position (Task 7-3/4-1047). The squadprepares a hasty defensive position (Task 7-3/4-1021) to prepare for a counterattack.(6) The squad defends against an enemy platoon's counterattack. The squad can callfor and adjust indirect fire (Figure F-15, Event 4).(7) The squad repels the counterattack and is ordered to disengage (Task 7-3/4-1008).The mission is complete.F-13
