Analysis of M16A1 Basic Rifle Marksmanship Training
Abstract
During the Spring of 1976 the BRM Test, conducted at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, evaluated four basic rifle marksmanship (BRM) training programs: the Army Subject Schedule (ASUBJSCD), Fort Benning, Fort Dix, and Fort Jackson programs. One product of the test was a substantial quantity of individual difference and rifle firing data. These data are currently being analyzed to assess the effects of selected individual differences on BRM acquisition and terminal performance. The purpose of this report is to present the results of these analyses. The first is a molecular analysis of the Fort Benning and Fort Dix programs. The second is a molar analysis of the four BRM test programs. Finally, as a by-product of the analyses, descriptions of the four BRM Test programs were developed. These descriptions indicate the instruction and evaluation activities, training objectives, and training practices characteristics of each of the BRM test programs. Originator-supplied key words include: Basic rifle marksmanship; M16A1 rifle, Marksmanship conditions, Marksmanship criteria, Marksmanship standards, Marksmanship tasks, Marksmanship training, Rifle marksmanship training, Training conditions, Training standards, and Training tasks.
