Basic Rifle Markmanship Trainer's Guide

Abstract

The BRM Trainer's Guide provides the instructor with what are considered the current fundamentals of marksmanship in terms of general knowledge and skill acquisition techniques. The scope of the guide is initial entry marksmanship training; however, it is appropriate for use in any unit. The most important reason to field this guide is to provide information to trainers as quickly as possible. The contents of this guide will appear in Change Three of FM 23-9, M16A1 Rifle and Rifle Marksmanship once it is published. While much of the material reflects current thinking, it must be understood that continued research will result in further refinement in marksmanship training techniques. Keywords: Remedial marksmanship training, Shot group analysis, Down range feedback, M16A1 performance, Marksmanship fundamentals, Basic rifle markmanship POI, M16A1 ballistics.
