FM 3-22.1 (23-1)CHAPTER 4Training DevicesThe commander balances BFV training resources and time, usingappended equipment, simulators, and training aids. This allows effectiveand economical training to standards. However, nothing can replace livefire. The commander and master gunner must start by assessing the unit'sproficiency.4-1. TYPESTrainers must identify the specific resources that increase a unit's ability to train, sustain,and evaluate BFV gunnery and tactical training. Tables 4-1 and 4-2, pages 4-2 and 4-3,offer a quick reference of the appended equipment, simulators, and aids that relate tospecific training events.a.

APPENDED EQUIPMENTAppended equipment includes three-dimensional training products that mount on theactual platform and that can be activated either mechanically or electrically. AllBradley-appended equipment requires an operating temperature of 50 to 120 degreesFahrenheit (ambient) up to a peak of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. For system specifics on thethru-sight video (TSV), refer to TM 9-6920-708-10.a. Thru-Sight Video. The vehicle-appended TSV (Figure 4-1, page 4-4) provides avisible and audible record of gunnery or tactical-engagement exercises. Trainers use it toevaluate and critique vehicle gunnery training-engagement sequences. TSV is transparentto the crew. Its onboard monitor can play back training sequences immediately. The TSVsystem has the following components:(1) After-action review (AAR) subsystem. This subsystem lets evaluators play back,zoom in, and freeze individual engagements. It also lets crews review their performanceon the AAR subsystem. The AAR subsystem is usually located in the AAR area.4-1
