Marine Rifle Squad

TP
Shoot azimuth from
starting point (SP) to the
target point (TP).
5°
Walk at a 90° angle
from the SP-TP line until
a 50 difference from the
SP-TP azimuth is read
on the compass.

Step
One
Sp,
Step Two
Using a 1-meter pace, walk in
a straight line back to the SP,
Counting the paces as you
go. Multiply the paces to SP
by 11. This will give you the
range in meters between the
SP and the TP.
Step Three

C. The observer calls out sight corrections in clicks of elevation and windage
necessary to hit the target.
d. The Marine firing makes sight corrections, and continues to fire and make
corrections until a hit on the target is observed. The observer keeps track
of the number of clicks of elevation made in getting the round onto the target.
e. The final sight setting to hit the target (with consideration to the zero
of the rifle) indicates the range to the target. The Marine firing announces
the range by voice or signal.
